Sautéed onion and garlic build the savory base here, with red pepper flakes adding a gentle kick before crushed tomatoes go in for that deep, rich color. The vodka gets simmered down until it mellows into the sauce rather than announcing itself, leaving behind a rounded depth of flavor. Full-fat coconut milk is what really makes this one special, stirred in at the end for a silky, creamy finish that clings to every strand of whatever you're serving it over. Torn fresh basil on top brightens the whole pot right before serving. It's a great option to spoon over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash for a comforting, restaurant-style dinner. This one holds up well in a gluten free kitchen, so you can enjoy that classic vodka sauce experience without a second thought.
