Vodka sauce, a beloved comforting meal, features a creamy tomato sauce enriched with vodka, with origins tracing back to Italian or Italian-American traditions. Michelle Bottalico's rigatoni alla vodka recipe captures this essence by using rigatoni pasta for a fun variation. The sauce combines pureed tomatoes, vodka, heavy cream, and aromatics like onion and garlic, with a hint of heat from red chile pepper. Finished with fresh basil, this dish is not only easy to prepare in 30 minutes but also surpasses the flavors of jarred sauces.
Vodka sauce, while often attributed to Italian or Italian-American origins, is a comforting dish renowned for its creamy, flavorful profile that enhances the pasta experience.
Using rigatoni instead of penne offers a fun twist on the classic vodka sauce, utilizing larger pasta for a different bite while still delivering the desired taste.
The addition of vodka in the sauce, although subtle, augments the flavors of tomatoes and cream, transforming the dish into a rich and delightful meal.
This homemade livelier version of vodka sauce, while simple to prepare, is vibrant and luxurious compared to the convenience of jarred varieties, making it a must-try.
