(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Dressings/Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onions
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper
  • 2 tbsp. minced garlic
  • 2 (14.5 oz.) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 to 2 tbsp. fresh basil chiffonade
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-heat. When hot, add the onions, salt and red pepper, and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until thick, about 8 minutes. Add the vodka; cook until the sauce is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook until the sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Use immediately.

  2. Right before serving, stir in the basil and sprinkle the cheese over the sauce.
