Yield: One 14" pizza

  • 1 1⁄2 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Garlic, granulated

  • 6 oz. Vodka Sauce
  • 2 tsp. Grande Romano, grated
  • Fresh basil, chopped to garnish

Directions

  1. Stretch pizza dough to 14” round.
  2. Spread 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil evenly over crust, top with 1 tsp. garlic, 10 oz. Grande Fumella and 6 oz. vodka sauce.
  3. Bake at 500°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Vodka Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. Super heavy tomato sauce or paste
  • 8-10 oz. Fine ground tomatoes
  • 1⁄4 oz. Olive oil
  • 1 1⁄2 oz. Vodka
  • 2 oz. Heavy cream
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Blend 2 oz. tomato sauce or paste and 8 to 10 oz. tomatoes using an immersion blender.
  2. In a medium to large sauté pan, slightly heat 1/4 oz. olive oil.
  3. Place the tomato sauce into the sauté pan and stir for about 2 minutes until simmering.
  4. Carefully add 1 1/2 oz. vodka into the pan and allow the alcohol to burn off. Adding vodka to simmering tomato sauce prevents a bitter flavor from the vodka.
  5. Once the alcohol has burned off, add 2 oz. heavy cream and continue stirring until the sauce becomes light pink to orange.
  6. Cook the sauce down a bit, but don’t let the sauce break and separate.
  7. Add salt and pepper to the sauce.
  8. Let the sauce cool before adding it to a pizza before baking.
