How to Make Pink Vodka Sauce With Pasta Fast Easy

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes and vodka. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves (if using). Enjoy!
