I love this sauce! I tried making it several years back and was OK with the recipe I had found but not impressed. Last night I decided to try making it again. I have no idea what happened to the first recipe I used but hey how hard could it be right? I came up with this easy, flavorful dish perfect for those up and coming chill fall nights!
What you need:
1 stick of butter
1 Tbl garlic
1 med onion, chopped
1-2 lbs chicken tenders, cut into bite size pieces
1 cup vodka
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, puree about half the can
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp parsley
2 tsp sugar
6 leaves fresh basil, chopped
1 pint heavy cream
In a large sauce pot saute the garlic and onions in the butter until starting to soften, add in the pieces of chicken until cooked through. Add in the vodka and let cook for about 10 minutes. Add the can of tomatoes, and all the seasonings. simmer for about 20 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer about 30 minutes more. Pour over penne and be amazed!
NOTE: At this stage the sauce is done and able to serve, however, I found it to be a little too thin so I mixed about 5 tsp of cornstarch with a little water and stirred into the sauce while it was still cooking to help thicken it up.
Don't want chicken? Try shrimp or scallops. Just cook separately and add in last.
