I love to experiment with the ingredients I have on hand. This recipe, which uses citrus vodka and coconut milk in place of cream was a big hit with my husband and I don't want to forget it. Very easy, adaptable and just so happens to be vegan- throw in other veggies or spices you have on hand.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole dish. Add the shallot and a large pinch of salt and gently fry over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Stir through the tomato purée, cook for 2 mins, then stir through the vodka and cook for 3 mins. Quickly stir through the cream to combine, then remove from the heat.
- Cook the pasta in salted water following pack instructions. Drain and reserve 150ml cooking water. Add roughly 50ml of the water to the tomato sauce, then tip in the pasta and cheese, tossing everything together over a low heat until well coated and glossy (loosen with a splash more of the cooking water if it's a little dry). Season to taste, then serve with a sprinkling of the extra parmesan, a good grinding of black pepper and the basil leaves scattered over the top.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Fresh, in-season tomatoes will give your sauce a rich, sweet taste.
- Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky depth.
- Use a good quality vodka. The vodka will add a subtle flavor to the sauce, so use one that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different citrus fruits. The original recipe calls for lemon and orange, but you could also try grapefruit, tangerine, or lime.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, or use it as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This tomato rose sauce with citrus vodka is a delicious and versatile recipe that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you serve it over pasta, chicken, or vegetables, this sauce is sure to be a hit.
