Vodka Sauce
1 jar traditional marinara sauce

1 can diced tomatoes
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 cup heavy cream at room temp
1/3 cup grated parmesan
1/2 tsp red pepper flake
salt & pepper to taste
1lbs Linguine
Over med heat add a two count of olive oil and sauté your minced garlic until fragrant. Add in your marinara sauce and vodka and simmer for about 20 min. You want to cook out the alcohol. After 20 minutes stir in your cream slowly and reduce your heat to low. Add in your parmesan, red pepper flake, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
Have a pot of boiling slated water ready. Stir in your linguine and cook until al'dente. Take your pasta directly out of the boiling water and place in your sauce. Turn off the heat and cost your pasta with the sauce.
Serve with fresh parmesan cheese and a good crunchy bread. The sauce is perfect for dipping!
***Some great add in's to this dish are spinach, shrimp, or chicken.
