Pasta in Vodka Sauce


Yes, you can find bottled pasta vodka sauce in the grocery store. But there is nothing that beats this homemade version given to me by my friends Ian and Kim.

Ingredients:
3 tblsp Olive oil
4 oz. Prosciutto, sliced thicker than normal
3 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp. Crused Red Pepper
1 can Italian tomatoes, drained (reserve 1/4 cup of the juice)
1 cup heavy Cream
1/4 cup reserved juice
1/4 cup fresh Basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh Italian Parsley
1/3 cup Vodka
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano Cheese

Directions:
Put oil in pot and saute garlic, red pepper and prosciutto on low heat for about 10 minutes; add drained tomatoes, heavy cream, parsley, basil, and reserved juice. Bring to a boil. dd vodka; bring to a boil again while breaking up tomatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour over pasta, add cheese and toss.
Bon Appetit!
