This Vodka Sauce is made with whole San Marzano tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, butter, garlic, and vodka. 

This is what I'm talking about! Nothing better than an awesome vodka sauce. This sauce is traditionally served with penne, but I decided to make my own tagliattelle (without a machine). You can use any pasta you might have on hand.

What you will need

  • Tomatoes: For best results, I love using a can of whole San Marzano tomatoes.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes: I have used dried sun-dried tomatoes before, but the sun-dried tomatoes in a jar is where the flavor is at! They both will work though.
  • Heavy Cream: If you want to use a lighter cream, you can use milk or half and half.
  • Vodka: Using premium vodka will with no doubt enhance the end flavor of the sauce, but don't be afraid to choose an inexpensive vodka for this recipe.
  • Parmesan cheese: The cheese must be thinly grated so it can blend well in the sauce.
  • Basil: I love garnishing with fresh basil at the end of the recipe to give it a nice kick.

How to make Keto Vodka Sauce

In a large saucepan, combine the butter, garlic and red pepper flakes on medium low heat. Cook and stir often, until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. 

Add the vodka and simmer for about 3 minutes, or until ⅓ of the vodka has reduced. Add the tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle salt and pepper and simmer sauce over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. 

With a large spoon, put the sauce into a blender and add the heavy cream. Blend until smooth and return to the saucepan. Add the grated cheese and on low heat, stir until the cheese melts. 

Garnish with basil and parmesan.
