Recipe
The key to making this sauce great as opposed to good is the cooking of the garlic.
Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan large enough to accept all the ingredients. Add garlic. Cook until it is golden brown. Add hot pepper flakes and saute with the garlic. Cook until garlic it turns DARK brown in color.
Add onion and cook three minutes.
Add Vodka and reduce liquid by 1/2.
Add tomato and cream
Reduce until desired consistency is reached. Check for salt and pepper.
This sauce is best served with penne shaped pasta and a good shot of parmagiana or romano cheese.
