Easy Vodka Sauce Recipe

Step 1

Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.

Step 2

Once the butter's melted add the vodka and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Whisk together until evenly combined.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol.

Step 4

Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet, and bring the sauce back to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, whisking often, until thickened slightly.

Step 5

Add the cream to the skillet, whisking to evenly combine, and continue simmering the sauce for another 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted and incorporated into the vodka sauce.

Step 7

Serve over pasta, and enjoy!
