Vegan Vodka Sauce Recipe
This Vegan Vodka Sauce Recipe combines garlic, tomato paste, vodka, and coconut milk to create a creamy, tangy sauce suitable for pasta. Garlic is gently sautéed, then tomato paste adds sweetness and depth. Vodka is stirred in to blend flavors, followed by coconut milk that gives the sauce a rich, creamy texture without dairy. The sauce is seasoned with salt and simmered to meld the ingredients before serving with pasta.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 14 oz coconut milk
- salt to taste
- 1 lb pasta optional
- basil optional garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over low heat and add in the garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add in the tomato paste and stir for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the vodka and stir with the paste until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add in the coconut milk and salt, stir, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Finally, serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute coconut milk with heavy cream for a traditional dairy version of vodka sauce.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container refrigerated for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat the frozen sauce by thawing overnight and warming on the stovetop or in short microwave bursts, stirring frequently.
- Add a splash of water or broth when reheating if the sauce becomes too thick to restore desired consistency.
