Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil

  • ¾ clove garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons vodka

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute; add vodka, bring to a simmer, and cook until mostly evaporated, about 10 minutes.

  2. Stir tomatoes, basil, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper with the garlic and vodka in the saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.

  3. Stir milk and butter together in a bowl until smooth; pour into tomato sauce and stir until the color is even.

  4. Place saucepan over medium-low heat, bring sauce to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
