Easy Vodka Sauce

We're trying to stay out of the processed food aisles in the grocery store. I wanted to find a sauce to serve over pasta and found this easy sauce by Ria DeRoss. This is a simple and flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, onions, vodka and cream. I modified the recipe a little for our family tastes. I used half and half instead of whole cream . Serve over your favorite pasta. Delicious!
