Tomato Vodka Cream Sauce

This is a great recipe for a busy night. It takes minutes to prepare and most people already have the ingredients on hand. I served this sauce with homemade spinach mushroom ravioli and used the leftovers for cannelloni the next night. It would be great served on any pasta.
