Recipe Reviews
redjanet from London,
I'd never used vodka in cooking before so I was really intrigued as to how this would taste. It ended up being a very flavourful sauce which went very well with pasta. I didn't have fresh basil unfortunately, but I used dried and added lots of black pepper, which gave it a nice kick. My only minor complaint is that I ended up halving the ingredients as I was only serving my OH and myself and there was still way too much sauce for just the two of us. However, I would definitely make this again as the sauce itself was delicious and it was a quick and easy midweek meal.

This sauce was delicious on fresh pasta. I followed the recipe exactly, and it came out really well.

This recipe is a Smitten Kitchen adaptation of a Rachael Ray recipe. I know there are folks out there who are not RR fans -- but the girl knows pasta. This is a wonderfully balanced sauce and quick and easy to pull together on a week-night.
The original name of this recipe was "You Won't Be Single For Long" pasta. If my husband's reaction to this dish is any indication, I won't have to worry about being single again any time soon.
