"If you've never made vodka sauce before, you might be thinking, "It looks like plain old red sauce. Does it really contain vodka?" Yes! Vodka sauce is a tomato cream sauce that's enhanced with vodka. The vodka adds acidity, peppery notes, and deepens the savory flavor of the tomatoes. I learned in this article from The New York Times that it also helps emulsify the sauce, giving it its classic silky texture."
Penne alla vodka combines cooked penne with a creamy tomato and vodka sauce that yields a silky, slightly peppery, savory flavor. The sauce is made by sautéing yellow onion and garlic in extra-virgin olive oil, adding whole peeled tomatoes and tomato paste for sweetness and umami, then incorporating a splash of vodka which brightens acidity and helps emulsify. Heavy cream finishes the sauce for richness, with cashew cream as a dairy-free substitute. The recipe uses about 1/4 cup vodka, cooks quickly, and can be prepared in roughly 30 minutes, making it ideal for cozy fall and winter weeknights.
