Directions:
Put a large pot of salted water on to boil.

Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic, and shallots. Gently sauté garlic and shallots, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add vodka, about 3 turns around the pan in a steady stream. Reduce vodka by half, 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble, then reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

While sauce simmers, cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.

Stir cream into vodka sauce. When sauce returns to a bubble, remove from heat. Drain pasta. Toss hot pasta with sauce and basil leaves. Serve immediately, with crusty bread.

Personal Notes:
From Rachel Ray’s Top 30 Guy Meals: as Rachel herself would say...YUM-O!! This is a really yummy sauce. One thing to note - the quality vodka you use really does make a difference! I'm sure any middle quality vodka would be fine...just don't use the really cheap stuff (trust me!)
