This was an interesting sauce; a bit different than the ones I'm used to. I have never used evaporated milk in vodka sauce before; next time, I would use 1/2 & 1/2. I found the oregano a fitting addition. Next time, I think I will add some onion in to saute with the garlic! I served the sauce over cheese ravioli. Thanks for sharing, Veggie Girl!

Excellent! We really enjoyed the flavors in this simple dish. I cut the recipe in half to feed 3 of us & I totally wish I'd made the whole recipe. I used fresh basil, as I had it on hand, Absolut vodka and served it over chicken, prosciutto & Parmesan tortellini. We'll definitely be making this one again! Thanks for sharing, Veggie Girl!
