Wednesdays are pasta night for us. I had a batch of frozen vodka sauce that my mom had made (a family recipe) when she visited a few weeks ago for last night's dinner. The kids LOVE any pasta, and I'm sure you'll love this sauce! It's a great idea to make a few batches and freeze for a day when you don't feel like cooking.
Ingredients for sauce:
1/2 cup vodka (yes, the real stuff)
1/2 tsp red pepper seeds or flakes (use less if you want it less spicy)
1 cup light cream
5 tsp butter (healthy stuff works)
1 small can tomato sauce
1 cup frozen peas
Simmer vodka and hot pepper on low, for about 5 minutes. Add remainder of ingredients and simmer for about 20 more minutes.
Meanwhile, cook up penne pasta or another favorite pasta.
Pour sauce over pasta and serve. Enjoy!
