Pasta with

Vodka Sauce

Make an Italian restaurant-worthy pasta dish EASILY at home in 30 minutes! Pasta is tossed in a tomato-forward sauce that includes red pepper flakes, onions, garlic, spinach, heavy cream for RICHNESS and of course, vodka! A family FAVORITE comfort food classic recipe that's doable for busy weeknights, for entertaining, or for date night at home!

So today I made this Pasta with Vodka Sauce I pretty much followed your recipe with the exception of the fresh spinach and the red chili peppers I couldn’t find in my area. The red pepper chili flakes was enough heat for us anyway. It was just delicious. Creamy, garlicky, and bursting with flavor. My 2 grown boys said a definite keeper. Served with baked salmon and green salad. Perfect Sunday Dinner. Thank you.
