The best Vodka Sauce Pasta you'll ever eat.

My late mom used to make the best vodka sauce ever, and after her death I wanted to start learning how to cook the recipes she made. My brother typed up this recipe for me. It's easy to make and comes out great every time! I often double the recipe when serving three or more people. We have the brand names of the ingredients we used because we wanted it to be exactly like hers.

● 1 Pound Rigatoni (preferred) or Penne Pasta

● 1 stick of unsalted butter

● 1 teaspoon​of red pepper flakes

● 3/4 cup of vodka

● Tomato Puree (Mom used Pomi Strained Tomatoes, which come boxed) ­ 2

Cups

● Heavy Whipping Cream ­ 3⁄4 Cup

● Lawry’s Seasoned Salt ­ 1 Teaspoon

● Lawry’s Garlic Salt: Coarse Ground with Parsley ­ to taste

Instructions:

Sauce

1. Melt entire stick of butter in a medium pot. Do this at a low or medium heat so it

doesn’t burn

1. Stir in red pepper flakes and vodka. Simmer for 2 minutes

2. Stir in the tomatoes and heavy whipping cream. Simmer for 5 minutes

3. Stir in Seasoned Salt

4. Add several quick shakes of the garlic salt and stir. Taste. Rinse and repeat until

the garlic salt stops making it taste better.

1. Let the sauce simmer, stirring occasionally, as long as time permits. A lot of

people simmer their sauces for 12 hours or even an entire day. Give it at least 45

minutes or more.
