For an even smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce before adding the cream and vodka. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture. If you don't have vodka, you can substitute with an equal amount of dry white wine or simply omit it. The vodka adds a unique flavor, but the sauce will still be delicious without it. Fresh basil is a wonderful addition to this sauce. Stir in chopped fresh basil at the end for a bright, herbaceous flavor. For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of tomato paste along with the canned tomatoes. If the sauce is too acidic, add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
