Is there anything you can substitue for Vodka? I live in a place where it isn’t lawful to sell and its a pretty good drive to a place where it can be sold.

This recipe will go into my pasta rotation! It was PERFECT. I followed the recipe exactly, except I added some grilled chicken so my husband would actually eat it

Made this last night and was very happy with how it turned out. Missed a meat aspect to this dish, thinking about using ground turkey or grilled porkchops next time. Once the dish sat for about 20 minutes, it was to die for!

Fabulous recipe! It is so balanced and is a beautiful blend of rich, bright flavor! The vodka cooks enough not to overpower it! I’ll be making this again and again…maybe I’ll sear some shrimp next time and pile that on top…seems like a good combination to me. Excellent as is.

We liked this recipe BUT I needed to make some adjustments. First, you need to cook the vodka and tomato sauce for a lot longer than three minutes. It needs to reduce some to allow the alcohol to cook out as well as make the sauce thicker. Second, I added about 3 T of pesto to the tomato sauce so it wouldn’t be so bland. Lastly, adding water from the boiled pasta wont thin out your sauce, it will make it thicker.

Delicious!! I added some crumbled hot italian sausage and served with fresh homemade french bread and a salad. The whole family loved it!

Hummuna hummuna hummuna…my boyfriend caught me licking the spoon after every stir of this sauce. He made me stop, noting that if I kept doing that, there would be no sauce left for the pasta. I followed the directions almost exactly but added a few (ok, a lot) extra shakes of the red pepper flakes. Delicious!

This was wonderful! Will make again.

Instead of canned puree, I used about 5 homegrown tomatoes (boil about 2 minutes), remove skins and some of the pulp & seeds and puree in blender. I also added 1# of chopped sauteed shrimp.

I will freeze fresh tomato puree so that we can have this wonderful fresh meal year round.
