Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a boiling pot of water, begin cooking the pasta.
  • While the pasta is boiling, in a sauce pan add the oil, minced garlic and crushed red pepper and sauté until fragrant.
  • Next, add the crushed tomatoes, vodka, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until mostly smooth (may be a little grainy). The pasta should be done by now, so drain the water and set aside.
  • Once done blending the sauce, mix in the pasta and enjoy!

Notes

I garnished mine with sun-dried tomatoes- completely optional.
