The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
3 cups canned peeled plum tomatoes, pureed
1 pound scallops
6 ounces fresh spinach leaves, washed
2 tablespoons sour cream or low-fat yogurt
PASTA
14 ounces linguine
4 quarts water
4 teaspoons salt
directions
Heat all but 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saute pan.
Add the garlic and saute until golden and then remove. Add the red pepper or Tabasco and the pureed tomatoes, and simmer about 15 minutes.
Cook the pasta in abundant boiling, salted water.
While the pasta cooks, heat the last of the olive oil in a separate saute pan and saute the scallops about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and saute 1 minute.
Add the tomato sauce and sour cream or yogurt and mix well. Remove from heat.
When the pasta has cooked about 8 to 10 minutes and is al dente, drain it thoroughly, toss it with the sauce, and serve.

This had amazing flavor and a great way to cook up scallops and pasta. I topped the servings with fresh grated parmesan cheese for a little extra touch.
