Submitted by KPD123

"This is a simple yet elegant dish. The vodka gives you a slight tingle of heat! Perfect served with garlic bread. This recipe is also nice with Italian Sausage browned with the onions and garlic. Enjoy!"

Man this is good! I really liked the jarred vodka sauce until I tried this. It is fantastic, really nothing like the jarred sauce (which I will never buy again). I made as written but I think next time I will try with the italian sausage as suggested. Thanks for the keeper KPD!

Loved this recipe. Definitely a keeper. Even my husband liked this one.(hard to please) I added some diced roma tomatoes and sliced mushrooms to the sauce. Is a great meal for vegitarian guests. Thanks
