PASTA WITH PINK VODKA SAUCE AND SAUSAGE
This is one that I adopted from Emeril. It's actually a recipe I've been making for years and then found his. I always use a great quality hot turkey or hot chicken italian sausage for this and find that it's just as good as the real deal, however, the true recipe calls for real hot italian sausage. I make it a bit spicier and usually serve this with penne or farfalle. If I don't spice it up too much, even my 2 and 4 year old love this one.

Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until just al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander and return to the saucepan.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned and all pink has disappeared, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions, salt, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until thick, about 2 minutes. Add the vodka and cook until the sauce reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil and remove from the heat.
- Toss the sauce with the pasta to coat evenly and transfer to a pasta bowl for serving. Top with cheese and sprig of basil and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes are the heart of a great vodka sauce. Choose tomatoes that are in season and have a deep, rich flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to choose high-quality tomatoes that have been packed in tomato juice or olive oil.
- Choose a good vodka: The vodka you use in your sauce will make a big difference in the final flavor. Look for a vodka that is smooth and has a neutral flavor. Avoid vodkas that are flavored or have a strong alcohol taste.
- Don't overcook the sauce: Vodka sauce is a quick and easy sauce to make, but it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked sauce will lose its fresh flavor and become thick and gloppy. Simmer the sauce for just 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add some spice: If you like your sauce with a little kick, add some red pepper flakes or chili powder. You can also add some chopped fresh basil or oregano for a more herbaceous flavor.
- Serve with your favorite pasta: Vodka sauce is a versatile sauce that can be served with a variety of pasta shapes. Some popular choices include penne, spaghetti, and rigatoni. You can also serve it with grilled chicken or fish.
Conclusion:
Vodka sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and versatile sauce that can be served with a variety of pasta shapes and proteins. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give vodka sauce a try!
