Cannabis Vodka Cream Sauce

This luxurious creamy sauce combines vodka and cannabis-infused oil, creating a unique flavor profile that complements your favorite pasta perfectly!

Ingredients

For the Cannabis-Infused Oil:

• 1 cup olive oil (or your choice of oil)
• 1/4 ounce (about 7 grams) cannabis, finely ground

For the Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil (or adjust to taste)
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup vodka
• 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes (or 2 cups fresh tomatoes, diced)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
• Cooked pasta of your choice

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Making Cannabis-Infused Oil

1. Infuse the Oil:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and finely ground cannabis.
   • Heat over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Make sure the oil doesn't exceed 200°F (93°C) to avoid burning the cannabis.
   • After infusion, strain the oil through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, discarding the solid cannabis material. Allow the oil to cool.

Step 2: Making the Sauce

2. Sauté Aromatics:

   • In a large skillet, heat the cannabis-infused oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

3. Add Vodka and Tomatoes:

   • Pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
   • Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

4. Add Cream and Season:

   • Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the heavy cream, letting it simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
   • Season with salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

5. Combine with Pasta:

   • Toss the sauce with your cooked pasta, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.

6. Serve:

   • Serve in bowls, garnished with freshly chopped basil or parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
