Thank you so much! It’s the perfect sauce!!!! I was given a rate of 10/10 by my kids. My kids aren’t really fond of green peas, so I deleted it from my ingredients lol I’ll be doing this again
Good sauce of it’s type. If you are not familiar with it, it is light, a little sweet and no heavy vodka taste. Not mentioned but cook the peas, lol.
Tastes like fancy Italian, but I deviated a bit. I sauteed onions and minced garlic in olive oil, then added the other ingredients as the recipe calls for. And this is vegetarian because it doesn’t have prosciutto. Delicious meal!
This was a great recipe. We all loved it and I will definitely make it again. I did not have proscuttio, so used bacon instead and it was till good. The sauce is thin, but it seemed to be okay when placed on the pasta. It did make a lot of sauce, so I froze half for later.
This is an incredible dish, restaurant quality! I did not think it was hard either. The roasted peppers give it a unique depth of flavor compared to a typical vodka sauce recipe. I only used 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese & was still delicious!
Only made one change, added Italian hot sausage. Great recipe and easy to follow. Highly recommend it!
Loved this! Changes I made were use fresh garlic, use spicy Italian sausage instead of prosciutto, double peas, and use 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup half & half. Still super creamy!
Voted “Best Vodka Sauce EVER by my entire family, including the grandkids!
So good!! It was easy to make and we loved it!
My entire family and anyone else that may join us for dinner, absolutely loves this recipe. Might add a touch more vodka than called for but always comes out excellent. Highly recommend this one, and I don’t do this often.
It’s ok, but missing something…maybe sun dried tomatoes? Maybe more garlic? Fresh or roasted garlic? Something just wasn’t 100% satisfying about this dish.
Absolutely delicious. I used penne pasta as that’s what was in my pantry. The whole family had seconds. This one is a winner!
Delicious and very saucy! I made exactly as recipe specified. Everyone in family enjoyed!
Great recipe. Super easy. The only thing I added was some already cooked asparagus. This dish was a standout for my hubbie! I will definitely make it again.
Delicious! Left out the prosciutto, everything else exactly as written.
This was fantastic! Hubby and I could not resist eating a second helping. It tasted very authentic although I felt it had a little too much garlic and would probably use half the amount next time.
Used whipped cream vodka for extra creaminess
I have made this recipe, exactly as directed, on many occasions often when we have dinner guests. I serve it with home made baguettes followed by a light dessert. A simple meal which everyone loves, and most have second and even third helpings.
We loved this, it was something different than regular old spaghetti sauce but still simple and fairly quick to throw together! I did puree the red peppers in my food processor instead.
This is the easiest rigatoni recipe i ever made. The bf LOVES it, and can even make it himself, which is a plus. I have made it 3 times in the past 6 weeks.
Delicious. I didn’t use prosciutto, but did serve with Italian sausage. Also, I used fresh garlic instead of dried. The second time I made this dish I forgot to put the Parmesan in and it still tasted great.
