    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and cook according to package until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook for 6-7 minutes or until onions are translucent, fragrant and start to caramelize.
  3. Carefully add crushed tomatoes into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and add salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 2 minutes then pour in the vodka. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes, uncovered to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken.
  4. Stir in the coconut cream.
  5. At this point you can add the drained pasta back to the pot and pour in the sauce to combine. Or you can plate the pasta and add sauce on top.
  6. Sprinkle fresh basil and parmesan over the pasta and toss to mix. Serve immediately, passing additional parmesan and basil if you like.
