Vodka Sauce

---

1/2 white onion

2tbs unsalted butter

3tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 quart San Marzano Tomatoes

3/4 cup heavy cream

bundle of Basil

Salt to taste

Instructions

* start by dicing your onion. I go for a small dice but we will be emulsifying this recipe at the end so don’t go crazy trying to make. It perfect.

* Next get a medium sauce pan on medium high heat and go ahead add your extra virgin olive oil.

* Once your oil reaches temp about two minutes add your onion, cook down for about 3 minutes then add your butter.

* Once your butter has melted and onions are translucent add two shots of vodka (brand does not matter).

* Let the vodka catch fire so the alcohol burns off this only lasts a couple seconds so don’t be scared!

* Once the Vodka is cooked off go ahead and tear some fresh basil in, give it a mix.

* Add salt then follow it by adding your tomatoes, let simmer for 20 minutes.

* Go ahead and add your heavy cream, let simmer for about 30-40 minutes then season with salt to taste. 

* Once the heavy cream has reduced and you have achieved a beautiful dark orange color, go ahead and emulsify until completely smooth. 

* Let simmer for another 20 minutes, remove from the heat and let get to room temperature before putting your lid on !

ENJOY!
