EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can use broth for the vodka. The sauce will just have a much different flavor.

Try fettuccine or penne with this sauce; they're both good choices. Top servings with a generous sprinkling of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.

I love this quick and easy sauce. I follow the recipe, but I add in some chicken to make it more substantial. The other thing that I love about this sauce is that it makes for great leftovers.

This recipe was quick, easy and delicious. I added cooked chicken sausage that I sliced and browned before browning the onions. I removed the sausage and browned the onions with oil in the same pan as the sausage and used the puree to get the flavorful brown bits. I added the sausage back into it just before adding the cream. My husband loved it.
