Tomato Vodka Cream Sauce

Ingredients

• 28oz diced tomatoes, canned
  
• 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
  
• 2-3 cloves of garlic (we used jarred)
  
• 1/4c vodka
  
• 1c half and half
  
• 1tbsp butter, and some olive oil
  
• salt and pepper to taste
  

This is actually quite simple to make. Melt the butter in a few tbsp olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent. Throw in the tomatoes and cook uncovered until most of the liquid cooks off. Depending on the surface area of your pot (and the heat of your burner) this could take anywhere from about 8 to 25 minutes. Add the half and half and the vodka and stir well. Again, let this cook about 2-4 minutes until it's thickened. Be careful - it will continue to thicken once you take it off the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Now you can either serve as is or (like us) you can throw it in a blender on a low setting until it's relatively smooth. Serve over pasta.

Thoughts: Delicious. Just great. Seriously. Maybe could use some red pepper flakes? Maybe not.
