• 1/2 cup vodka
• 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 tbsp chili flakes

• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 can coconut milk
• 1/4 cup vegan butter

1. Take a large pot and pour a 1/4 cup of olive oil. Bring the heat to a high temperature.
2. Dice the onions and mince the garlic and add directly into the hot oil and stir until slightly golden brown.
3. Add in your 1/2 cup of vodka and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Stir occasionally and then add in your crushed tomatoes.
4. Lower the heat to a medium temperature and add in your nutritional yeast, chili flakes, black pepper, salt, thyme, and oregano. Stir and let cook for 3–4 minutes
5. Use only the cream from the coconut milk, add in a 1/4 cup of vegan butter, and 1/2 cup plant based milk.
6. Stir and let cook for another 3–4 minutes.
7. Turn off the heat, take a hand blender (or transfer to a large regular blender) and blend until you get a smooth consistency.
8. Turn the heat back on, but to a low temperature, add in your fresh basil leaves, stir, and then cover for at least 5 minutes.
9. Top with nutritional yeast, vegan parm, fresh basil, or whatever floats your boat. Serve and enjoy!
