Pasta with Vodka Sauce is a creamy, indulgent dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine. The sauce combines crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, vodka, and aromatics like garlic and onion, creating a balanced flavor profile that’s tangy, rich, and slightly sweet. The vodka helps emulsify the cream and tomatoes, enhancing the sauce’s texture without contributing alcohol once cooked. Frequently served over penne or rigatoni, it may also include grated Parmesan and fresh herbs for added depth. While this dish is a good source of carbohydrates from the pasta and offers some calcium and healthy fats from the cream and cheese, it can be high in saturated fat and calories depending on portion size. For a lighter version, you can substitute whole-grain pasta and use less cream or a vegan alternative. Pasta with Vodka Sauce exemplifies comfort food with charm, offering a flavorful treat when enjoyed mindfully.
