Nan's Bloody Mary Pasta Sauce

This is a meatless pasta sauce that uses both Nan's and your favorite vodka.  It is a lighter sauce but it is very flavorful and pairs well with a delicate pasta such as angel hair. Cook your pasta to al dente and reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, add a bit to the sauce, the starch from the pasta will help thicken the sauce.

1 T olive oil
3/4 cup of finely chopped onion
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 cup good vodka
4 cups Nan's Naughty And Nice Bloody Mary Mix And Recipe Boost
3 T chopped basil (about 20 leaves)
1-2 T chopped oregano
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teas white or black pepper to taste
1/2 teas cayenne pepper, optional

Heat oil and sauté onion until soft but not brown.  Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, do not burn.  Add vodka, bring to a boil and reduce to a third.  Add the Nan's, basil and oregano.  Bring to a simmer, add cream and cheese and serve with pasta.  Garnish with additional basil and cheese,  Enjoy!
