Description
Did someone say vodka? We sure did! Did you know that vodka helps provide a cohesive texture to this sauce combining the creaminess with the tomato base? Vodka has been used in making sauces for years because it also does not impart flavors that may not be wanted in your sauce. Bon Appetit!
