Vodka pasta sauce

I had guests over last night for an evening of catching up, wine tasting,  full body massages (thank you Paula!!!), and great food. Honestly tho, I just wanted people to come over and help me eat the food that's in the fridge so I can make more. While my friend Patrick had his turn at a massage, I took the time to test out a pasta sauce that's has a bit of vodka in it.

Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce

1/4 Cup Vodka

2 Cups Prepared Tomato Sauce (I used Prego)

1 Tbs Italian Seasonings

1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

3 Tbs of Onion Powder (or use half an onion, finely chopped)

1 Tbs Olive Oil

Grated parmesan cheese

1 lb of pasta of choice, already cooked.

1. In a sauce pan, add tomato sauce, onion powder, Italian seasonings, olive oil, and vodka. Simmer for 5 mins. (If you're going to use the chopped onion, sautee with a little butter first.)
   
2. Slowly start adding cream while stirring. If you want a thicker sauce, add more cream, tsp at a time. (If you want to thicken w/o the added calories, use corn starch, tsp at a time.)
   
3. Turn heat off, then add cooked pasta. Stir gently.
4. Before serving pasta, sprinkle parmesan cheese.  

BON APPETIT!
