In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and add the sweet onion. Stir for a few minutes. Then add the leaks and garlic.
Keep stirring. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions crystallize. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for a few more minutes. Add the salt, sugar, black pepper, dried oregano, and vodka. Cook, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat. When it cools down, blend well, and return the ingredients to the saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Add creme fraiche ( heavy cream) and tomato paste. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
This is a good moment to add to or balance the flavors. You could add some fresh basil leaves cut in chiffonade. Remember to sprinkle with plenty of Parmesan cheese!
