Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

Since I dont cook the only thing I didnt know is that if you pour vodka into a skillet while it is on the flame wow does it sizzle.

So remove the skillet from the flame and slowly pour the vodka in then put it back on the flame.

I love vodka sauce too.

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

thanks chippa...I didn't realize there was heavy cream in vodka sauce (don't laugh at me...I'm not Italian)

I'll have to plug in the numbers and see if I am allowed to have on my diet!!

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

another shotrcut is to get a really chunky tomato sauce and then just add heavy cream or some milk...not quite as good but it'll do!!

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

Sounds good but did it really take that long to cook? Vodka sauce shouldn't take no more than 15 minutes usually.

Well as long as it takes good thats all that matters..lol. Enjoy!!!

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

I was wondering the same thing Kathy,about the time

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

it took forever. or at least that is what it felt like

the dicing of the onion took so long (I am so glad I put a dicer on my registry and I cant wait to get it)

I didnt know there was heavy cream in it either (and I am italian)

It came out so good.

Points wise its high, but if you bank from during the week its definatly worth a little splurge

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

so you could you use milk...or lite cream to make a lower fat version?

it just won't taste as rich?

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

I make a Vodka sauce with Dry Vermouth - instead of vodka - and shallots - instead of onion. It's delish. Cooking down the heavy cream is what adds time to making the sauce...

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

thanks for the tip CP

I got the recipe off allrecipes.com so I have no idea how to cut out the fat or anything.

I dont cook (kidding me I had to ask FI how many cups is half a pint) so I am no help on alterations to a recipe.

Re: Easy Vodka sauce recipe

mmm...vodka sauce...maybe I'll make it this weekend! The recipes I've always seen have bacon, and I'm veg. so this is perfect. Thanks!

This is one of the options at the pasta station during cocktails...I hope they make it good!
