Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Tomato Sauce and Vodka

    Pour in the tomato sauce and vodka, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cream

    Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and basil if desired.
