Ziti with Vodka Sauce
This is terrific with a great caesar salad, and crusty french bread to scoop up the extra sauce.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup sour cream (can use light)
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan (plus additional for serving)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (plus more for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 1 dash white pepper
- 8 ounces ziti pasta, cooked and drained
- 1½ shots (about 4½ tablespoons) vodka
Instructions
- In a medium skillet, brown the garlic in melted butter. Add the rest of the ingredients except the pasta and vodka. Stir until bubbly and heated through.
- Add the vodka to the sauce and pour over the cooked pasta. Place in individual pasta bowls and sprinkle with additional Parmesan and chopped basil.
Notes
- I like to double the sauce recipe because my husband loves it so much!
- In a pinch, you can use marinara sauce in place of tomato sauce.
