• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons minced garlic

½ cup vodka (such as Ciroc®)

1 pint heavy whipping cream

1 (28 ounce) jar tomato sauce

1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Heat a large saucepan over high heat until the surface is very hot; add minced garlic and sear until brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour vodka into the saucepan, taking care in case any flames ignite from the alcohol meeting the hot surface of the pan.

Quickly pour cream into pan to douse any flames and stir; add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley.

Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat, and rest sauce long enough to let herbs flavor the sauce, 5 to 10 minutes.
