Heat water for the pasta.
Add vegan butter and minced garlic to a large frying pan and warm over very low heat.
Once the garlic starts to sizzle a little, pour in the cup of vodka and turn up the heat slightly.
Let it bubble and cook off the alcohol for about 3-4 minutes until the liquid has reduced to about half.
Add a can of crushed tomatoes and the vegan “chicken” broth.
Simmer the sauce on low while you cook the pasta.
Cook the pasta until just barely tender and then drain and rinse well. (Rinse gluten-free pasta very well).
Then add vegan creamer or cashew creamer to the red sauce and then mix in the drained pasta.
Cook for another minute or two to allow the pasta to absorb the flavor of the sauce.
Toss in a handful of fresh chopped basil or a tablespoon or 2 of vegan pesto.
Serve warm with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.

Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
If you can not find soy creamer, you can use plain soy milk or make your own cashew creamer.
Use any brand of vodka, just make sure it is not flavored.
Top with some vegan Parmesan cheese. See how you can make your own vegan Parmesan cheese here.
