This was a very simple recipe that turned out great for a quick meal on a work night.Along with the onions I added some finely chopped garlic and browned it in the butter, I also added a touch of garlic powder and a pinch of sugar to the sauce as it cooked during the last 30 minutes. You can definately eat this sauce alone or over some penne noodles or do as I did and add some grilled chicken with it which was great....This is another keeper.

This is great! I did add some herbs and a few teaspoons sugar for some added flavor, but I am absolutely making this again! Better than any vodka sauce you can buy in a store; and five servings was just enough to throughly coat a box of penne. YUM YUM!

I made this last night to go with fish. Added my own fresh herbs and it turned out amazing. Thank you for a great, easy recipe. I'll definately be making this again.

I gave this recipe 5 stars because it is super easy to prepare, it is delicious and only takes a couple simple ingredients. I have made it twice for big parties and it goes far. Thanks for the recipe.

This is a tasty quick vodka sauce,the name says it all! I did use crushed tomatoes that were seasoned with oregano, basil & garlic, only because that's all I had. The flavor was good, but next time I'm using the plain tomatoes as the recipe states because the herbs seemed to overpower the sauce a bit. Very nice, simple recipe, I needed a quick sauce recipe with few ingredients and this was wonderful. Thanks for sharing :)

This was really good. I put fresh garlic in with the tomatoes, a little sugar and italian herbs in also. I like spice with mine though so i put in fresh not dried crush red pepper. Victorias is a good brand i found. I even put it over whole weat pasta and it was still delicious

Very Very good. This was my first time making a vodka sauce and it was delicious. I served it with premade ravioli. The recipe made a lot of sauce so I froze the rest and plan to use it in a baked dish with Italian sausage. Thanks!

Very good sauce. I did add some fresh garlic to the pan when I was doing the onions. I think with out that it would have been to bland.

This is a very nice sauce. I used about 3/4 olive oil to 1/4 butter mixture instead of just butter. Also,I sauteed about 4 finely minced cloves of garlic with the onions (after the onions started to get translucent). With the tomatoes was added a couple teaspoons each of dried basil and oregano and a handful of chopped fresh parsley. Seafood goes particularly well with this sauce, so on the side I sauteed 1 lb of shrimp and 1 lb of scallops in butter/olive oil and garlic. Added on top of the noodles, then covered with sauce...very addictive.

This was tasty and got good reviews from my guests, but I thought it was a little bland. Like others have said, it is probably a good base, but definitely needs some doctoring up to bring it to the spice and garlic level that you like. I froze the leftovers in small tupperwares, which made for easy thawing for a pasta side in this rich sauce.

I just wanted to say that this easy sauce is quite delicious - no changes need to be made to the original recipe either. My 94 year old Mom absolutely has to have a supply of this sauce in her house. If she runs out of it, my niece (who lives with her) has to make another batch. It's that good.
