Tips & Notes

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    No change.

  • Substitution

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

  • Serve-With

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