This pasta recipe with a creamy tomato sauce includes vodka, giving it a delicious flavor when it evaporates. The shrimp are perfect, but they can also be omitted.

Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the vodka and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook until the liquid evaporates and reduces by half. Add the tomatoes, cream, dried chili, and salt and pepper. If whole tomatoes were used, break them up a bit with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot with plenty of salt in boiling water over medium heat as indicated on the pasta package. Drain and place in a large bowl, add the sauce and toss. Serve immediately.
