Ingredients
Instructions
- . Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
- . Stir in tomato paste and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute until paste darkens slightly.
- . Crush San Marzano tomatoes by hand and add to pot with their juices. Add chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
- . Add vodka and cook 2-3 minutes to burn off the alcohol while retaining its flavor enhancement.
- . Blend until smooth. Stir in cream, sugar, and grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- . Serve hot garnished with fresh basil and extra red pepper flakes if desired.
Recipe Notes
- Most alcohol cooks off, but trace amounts remain.
- Use any decent vodka—expensive brands aren't necessary.
- Not ideal for freezing due to cream content.
