I had a Vodka, tomato, cream sauce in Ottawa a week or so ago. It was
excellent, and was called Vodka Monterosa Sauce at €œJohnny Farina.€� It was
on a Sea Food Fettichine and was excellent. I was hoping that someone here
might know the sauce.

Lacking that I figured I would sauté a little onion and garlic, add heavy
crème, a bit of tomato paste and vodka boil it down and see what happens.
