Pasta alla Vodka is an Italian-American favourite in which tomato, cream and chilli quickly become a velvety sauce.
As a quick Friday-night pasta, when you want comfort food with a slightly more special feel.
A creamy tomato pasta where vodka brings out the flavour of the tomato and chilli without tasting heavily of alcohol.
