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

Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic, and shallots. Gently saute garlic and shallots for 3 to 5 minutes to develop their sweetness (do not burn garlic). Add vodka and reduce by half, about 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble, then reduce to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.

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

Stir cream into the 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!
