Vodka Cream Sauce for Pasta

You need (Makes for 4):

Olive Oil
Diced Tomatoes (1 Big Can)
Salt - To taste
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Pepper - To taste
Chilli flakes - To taste
Oregano - To taste
Few cloves of garlic
One Medium Onion
Half cup Vodka
Half cup Broth
Half cup cream

Procedure:

1. Heat oil in a pan.
2. Add chopped garlic followed by onions and sautée till soft
3. Add the diced tomatoes from the can. Use half fresh if you want a less tangier taste. The canned tomotoes have sometimes a strange sour taste.
4. Cook till its a nice soft puree. Add sugar to remove the sour taste.
5. Add salt, pepper, chilli and oregano to suit your taste buds. (Don't skip Oregano)
6. Cook it well till it thickens on medium flame.
7. Now add Vodka and let it simmer and cook until all the vodka is absorbed and the sauce is further thickened.
8. Now add the broth ( you can add a little more than the recommended if you feel you may be short on quantity) and quickly bring to boil.
9. Hopefully the Pasta is done in time as well. Take the sauce off the heat. Mix in the cream. The sauce will now be a delightful pink colour.
10. Add to pasta and serve right away.

Bon Appetito !
