This is so yummy!!! It is from Taste of Home Quick Cooking and I have been making it for years.

This is a Campbells soup recipe, but we love it in our house. I normally double the sauce portion to compliment the rice more.

Very yummy sauce, and it comes together really quickly. And yes, it does taste better with the heavy cream. Otherwise it'd be tomato vodka milk sauce. Anyways, I usually up the amount of garlic and red pepper flakes. Also, if you're not using fresh Basil, I'd put less than the 2 T called for. The dried basil, in that amount, tends to overwhelm the sauce. Enjoy!

28 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 minced medium garlic cloves
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 T olive oil
2 T chopped basil leaves
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup vodka
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pound pasta

Combine garlic, red pepper flakes and 1 tsp water in a small bowl. Heat the olive oil in medium saucepan and sauté garlic mixture for a minute. Add in tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Add vodka and simmer another 5 minutes. Stir in basil, sugar, salt, pepper and heavy cream. Remove from heat and transfer to a food processor or blender. Puree, and return to pan. Heat and stir until thickened. Serve over pasta.
