Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

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 to avoid any flames that ignite from the alcohol meeting the hot surface of the pan. Quickly pour cream into pan to douse the 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.
