One of my families favorite restaurants here in Arizona is Brio. Every time we go up to the Phoenix area we go there. I have fallen in love with their Pasta a la vodka. It is to die for.

This is my attempt at making it. It is pretty darn good if i say so my self. My husband says he actually likes it better….go me! And my picky little eater actually ate it all with out a fight….bonus.

Start with a very large pan heated with some olive oil (about 1/4 cup). Add in your chopped onion.

Chop up some prosciutto and garlic and add to the pan.

Here is my favorite part……the Vodka. Turn your heat down to low and add 1/3 cup in to pan. Go ahead and have some for yourself….its ok, I wont tell.

Add your tomato sauce and stir. Add your Salt and pepper to taste.

Add in your heavy cream.

Top with some cheese, stir…….almost there.

Toss in your cooked Tortellini (Cheese filled of course

There we go. All done. Enjoy
