Gnocchi alla Vodka

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter

1 small white onion, finely diced

4-6 cloves of garlic, finely diced

1 15oz can of tomato sauce

1 cup heavy cream

1/3 cup vodka

1 package potato gnocchi (1bout 17oz)

1 tbsp Italian seasoning

1 tbsp basil

3 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Warm butter in large skillet or pot over medium heat until melted- add in onion, sauté for around 7 minutes. Add in garlic, cook for around 30 seconds.

Add in tomato sauce and vodka, allow to simmer for about a minute, then add in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, and basil. Stir well, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in parmesan, salt, and pepper, and allow to simmer for a few more minutes until parmesan is well melted and gnocchi is nice and soft. Serve immediately.

I like to serve this with buttered Italian bread.

*It has occurred to me that I have no idea what the metric equivalents of a tablespoon or cup would be, or even the unit theyd be measured in. Sorry about that!
