TGIF!! and wanted to wish you a great weekend but also to give you a great, very cheap recipe. Cheap that is if you have no cash flow and very little in your cupboards but your liquor cabinet is full!!! It will undoubtedly create romantic feelings on a shoestring (I think I could call this the maritime provinces cheap and cheerful way of getting laid --- no offense -- we're all looking for ways). Yer gonna luv it boy!!: Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to pan. Add 2 cloves of garlic and 2 of minced shallots. Gently saute for 6 mins. Add 1 cup of vodka (heady stuff) and reduce by half (will take 2 or 3 mins). You can stand by the pan inhaling the fumes for these 3 mins so as not to waste the alcohol because after 3 mins, it will have evaporated!! Add 1 cup of chicken stock, 1 can (32 oz) of crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 10 mins. In the meantime, cook your pasta (linguini) to al dente. Just before serving sauce, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream and fresh basil to the sauce. Bring back to simmer. Taste and check for seasonings. Serve with the pasta. Hope your Friday night is nutritious, romantic and fulfilling!!
