Vodka sauce (or salsa alla vodka) is a creamy, tomato-based Italian-American pasta sauce. A “200 g” serving typically refers to a small, ready-to-use portion (often sold as a jarred product, or enough for 1–2 servings of pasta) that combines tomato, heavy cream, vodka, garlic, onions, and Parmesan cheese.
Key Characteristics and Ingredients
Flavor Profile: It has a rich, velvety texture that balances the acidity of tomatoes with the smoothness of cream, featuring a slight, savory kick from red pepper flakes.
The Role of Vodka: The vodka acts as an emulsifier that helps blend the water-based tomatoes with the fat-based cream. While it adds a subtle, delicate sharpness, the alcohol cooks off, leaving no boozy taste.
Common Ingredients: Tomatoes (crushed or pureed), heavy cream, garlic, onion, butter, Parmesan cheese, and vodka. Some variations include pancetta or bacon for added depth.
Origin: Popularized in the 1970s and 1980s, with conflicting claims of origin between Italy and the United States.
