  5. Pour over the vodka and when it has evaporated, add in the cream.
  6. Simmer for a further minute or so until the sauce is combined and smooth. Keep warm until the pasta is cooked.
  7. Drain the pasta, keeping about 100ml-125ml of pasta cooking water, then stir the pasta water into the creamy vodka tomato sauce, a little at a time. Stir in the butter for a glossy finish.
  8. Add the linguine and grated parmesan and stir to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  9. Divide into two pasta bowls and sprinkle extra pepper, parmesan and some fresh basil if desired. Enjoy piping hot!
