when creating this recipe we wanted a sauce that had character and contained vodka not just in name. this sauce satisfied our desire and conveys the taste of vodka without the alcohol. the vodka contrasts with and enhances the tomato flavor. the cream mellows out its spicy nature resulting from the combination of both red and black pepper along with garlic. my wife loves this sauce with roasted pork and sage ravioli.
