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.

3 cloves garlic, minced
fresh, chopped basil, to taste
1 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

1 package (1 pound size) pasta, cooked as directed on the box

Mix all except the shrimp and pasta, let sit at room temperature for about an hour for the flavors to blend.
Pour over the cooked pasta, add the shrimp and adjust the seasonings to taste. I sprinkle some additional grated cheese over the top and garnish with whole basil leaves.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
