Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1 tablespoon butter2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 onion, chopped (or more if you prefer it)approximately a pound of Italian sausage1 cup vodka1 cup chicken stock1 can tomatoes (I currently use fire roasted italian)salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, etc to taste1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic, and onions. Gently saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Add sausage and brown. Add vodka to the pan, 3 turns around the pan in a steady stream will equal about 1 cup. Reduce vodka by half, this will take 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt, pepper and other seasonings. Simmer the sauce while cooking pasta (I use penne). Right before time to drain the pasta, stir cream into sauce. When sauce returns to a bubble, remove it from heat.

Serve with cooked Penne pasta. Makes 8 .75 cup servings
