Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste, I used about 1 1/2 teaspoons
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup vodka
- 2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 pint heavy cream
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat butter and oil in a large skillet (make sure it has a lid, we’ll be using it later) over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add onion, garlic, basil, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper, and oregano, then sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in vodka and let simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Mix in crushed tomatoes, reduce heat to low, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Pour in heavy cream, cover, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
- Transfer mixture carefully to a high powered blender with parmesan and blend until smooth.
- Taste and re-season, if necessary, then serve as desired and enjoy!
