Vodka Cream Sauce

Penne Pasta with Tomato Vodka "Cream" Sauce

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 lb. penne pasta
    3 - 14.5 oz cans of stewed tomatoes
    3 1/2 cups plain soy milk
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    2 tablespoons vodka
    freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook soy milk on stovetop over medium heat until it reduces to 2 cups.  Puree tomatoes in blender.  Add milk and blend until well mixed.

In a large wok (or really big pot) cook tomato mixture for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  If it starts to sputter, turn the heat down.

Add basil, salt and oregano.  Cook 5 more minutes.

Add vodka, simmer 5 more minutes.  Lastly, add pepper.  Ladle over cooked penne pasta noodles.

I made this for Valentine's day and my omni DH loved it!  Very easy too, the sauce can be pureed in the blender the night before to save time.
