This was very good! I did change a couple things...I added onion and chopped prosciutto when cooking the garlic(the one other time I had this dish it had onions & proscuitto). I also used diced tomatoes instead of whole. This is a great change from everyday red sauce. Great for a casual dinner or entertaining.

I really wanted to try this recipe, but unforunately my husband is lactose intolerant. I decided to try it anyway, but instead of using the cream, I substituted 1 3/4 cup low-lactose yogurt ("BioBest") and 1/4 cup lactose-free milk. It probably wasn't the same consisitency, but it tasted great, and my husband reported no ill effects! Someday when he's not around I'll have to try it with cream so i can compare.

So easy! I didn't have basil, so I didn't use it. I only used one cup 1/2 & 1/2 cream and it was enough. I love this recipe.

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, and even my picky four year old brother loved it! Next time I might add some chicken, and there will definitely be a next time.

This was delicious, it didn't come out runny at all. The sauce was a lovely orangish hue. I used heavy cream & I've also used half& half with success. I've added shallots when I had them. Asiago cheese grated into the sauce is a must- Good Grief this is good! You can substitute stewed tomatoes and tomato puree if you don't have the whole tomatoes on hand. A very nice Lenten recipe for meat-less Fridays. Was it just me or did anyone else not taste the vodka? Thanks, Liarose for a keeper.

This recipe was pretty good. It was a little too bland for me but my husband and son loved it. I added chicken to it.

Wow!! Now I know what to cook for my boyfriend when he comes into town next weekend. I have been experimenting, trying to come up with the perfect dinner for him, and this one definitely is up to par!! I threw in a dash of red pepper flakes and extra garlic for some heat. I halfed the recipe, but accidentally forgot to halve the vodka (yes, it WAS an accident!) :), but it turned out delicious anyway. Next time i might add some grilled chicken breast, and maybe some peas for color. You HAVE to try this recipe, you will not be disappointed, i promise. Thanks Liarose!! :)

AMAZING. Yummy. Please make this, you will LOVE it. I just finished the leftovers and it is only 8:30 pm. My husband and I couldn't stop eating and talking about this. So easy to make. Go ahead and use the full cream...treat yourself...then skip dessert. And use the best canned tomatoes you can find.

Very good, but the sauce was a bit thin, didn't stick as well as I had hoped to the penne. Could have been me, though! I used 1/2 and 1/2 as other reviewers had suggested, and used those gourmet tomatoes stewed in tomato puree and basil. Next time, I'll use the tomatoes I can drain & see if that helps thicken it up. Otherwise, I'll thicken with parmesan cheese. Definitely will try this one again!

I have tried countless recipes for vodka sauce. I've also ordered it at restaurants several times. This is the best vodka sauce I've ever had. My husband and everybody I make it for loves it. It's very easy, too!

VERY DELICIOUS! WE ADDED CHOPPED COOKED CHICKEN, COOKED SHRIMP AND PROSCIOUTTO (Sp?) IN THE FINAL STAGES AND THIS MADE THE DOUBLED RECIPE GO A LONG WAY FOR A NICE DINNER. WE ALSO FOUND THAT IF YOU MAKE IT AHEAD OF TIME AND LET IT SIT AND "GEL" FOR A WHILE IT TASTES SO MUCH MORE FLAVORFUL WHEN HEATED TO SERVE LATER. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

Excellent! I can't recommend this recipe enough. It's easy to make and absolutely delicious. My whole family loved it. I even substituted fat free half and half for the cream and it still tasted wonderful! I probably didn't need to but I also added a dash of red pepper flakes. I can't wait to make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

This was simple, elegant and delicious! I even got away with using half-and-half and it was still very good. I also added sliced mushrooms and shrimp. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Vodka sauce! This is one of the best.
