I've never had vodka sauce, little alone make it. My husband and I both really enjoyed this recipe! Rather than using fresh tomatoes, I used two cands of diced italian seasoned tomatoes. Instead of regular vodka, my husband brought home smirnoff citrus vodka, I thought the recipe was ruined at that point. We were both pleasantly surprised when we found out it wasn't and that this recipe was terrific. Thanks for the great recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2012.
