Notes
- Want to make this vodka sauce extra flavorful? Add a parmesan cheese rind to the sauce while it simmers. It adds so much flavor!
- Feeding a crowd? Double or triple the recipe.
- This recipe is perfect for 1 lb of pasta, but I recommend adding a splash of pasta water to the sauce to make it even creamier!
