It's Monday and you're probably looking for something simple to cook for dinner or thinking about ordering pizza. Or, at least that's generally how my Mondays go and I tend to fall victim to the online ordering ease of pizza. But! I have found something that could save you from going down that road and relax you a little at the same time. Emma from Food Coma tried out this pasta recipe that calls for Vodka in the sauce, which sounds pretty interesting. Now, if only I were 21. You can probably enjoy it, though!

• 16 ounces dried pasta (any kind you like)
• 28 ounce can of whole tomatoes
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup vodka
• 1/3 cup cream
• Fresh basil for serving (optional)
• Cook pasta according to the directions
• While pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a sauce pan
• Sautee the onions until they begin to soften, then add garlic
• Drain the tomatoes (but keep the juices incase you think your sauce is too thick later)
• Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, vodka and cream
• Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally
• Put sauce in a blender to blend the tomatoes, or simply crush the tomatoes up in the pan
• Once sauce is blended and hot, serve over warm pasta with some fresh basil!
