This is a great recipe. I did as other reviewers suggested and added oregano etc. People think I am twice the cook I am after eating this sauce over simple pasta. The basic recipe as shown is a solid foundation for pasta sauce and it is now a permanent resident in my recipe book.

Need to add garlic, basil, oregano and parsley but it is a great recipe. Add a little red pepper if you like it a little hot

I had no idea that a good vodka sauce would be so easy to make! This is a great base recipe, and I am always trying out different combinations of basil, rosemary, oregano, etc... I also add just a bit of sugar to bring down the tartness.

Seriously easy AND delicious to boot! The only thing I changed was I added some herbs to our family's taste (dried basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, tiny amt. of rosemary, and then fresh basil strips for garnish). We made this with crab ravioli so I added the reserved juice from the can of crab too. All i had was good vodka in the house so that's what i used, not sure if that really makes a difference though. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Excellent!! As reviews suggested I did add some basil, garlic and oregano. The canned tomatoes also had all of these in them. I had just gotten some "jarred" vodka sauce a few weeks ago and wasn't too sold on it. But this is absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing such an easy, simple but great recipe. Addendum: Made this again a couple of weeks ago for friends. My friend's husband could not stop "grunting" as he ate this delicious dish. DH and him ate almost half of the 13x9 dish that I made it in. I use grey goose vodka and this time I added a little bit of browned hamburger. Can not believe how GOOD this really is.

I rate this a 4 because of the lack of seasoning in the recipe. After adding salt, pepper, fresh garlic, oregano, and fresh parsley, this was an INCREDIBLE dish! I also added 1/2 lb of italian sausage. My husband loved it, I loved it, even my son thought is was great! I will be making this again.

Couldn't be easier, and everyone loves it! It is special enough to use for a holiday or special dinner but easy enough to throw together at the last minute. Terrific!

Very nice base .. Have made it several times now . Made it as written few time s and it was great added garlic to the onions and bacon was better . and the last time I added red pepper flakes and instead of canned tomatoes I grilled sweeter tomatoes under the broiler and made my own and added mushrooms it was perfect

This was a good sauce but not as good as I was hoping. Might use it again but will continue searching for one that is closer to tasting like the one my family loves. The sauce was easy to make and did taste good though!

Great! We use Pinot Grigio and let the whole pot simmer and extra 20-30 mins while the pasta water boils and the pasta cooks.

This is pretty good. I halved it based on other reviews since I'm only feeding 2 and it still made more than necessary. I think it could use a little less butter. I actually liked it better before I added the cream, maybe I'll make it again with out it.

This recipe is excellent and super easy. Of course, the addition of garlic, basil and parsley are great and add a touch of color. I also added a package of frozen peas for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Everyone loved it!

LOVED IT! this is one of my favorite meals and this recipe is so close to an Italian Restaurant in Howard Beach Queens, I added garlic when sauteeing the onions and crushed red pepper flakes at the end with a few dashes of grated parmesan to bring it closer to the restaurant taste I love. Delicious!
