Sun Dried Tomato Vodka Sauce

April 18, 2018 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

I really enjoy making this pasta dish, I created this recipe years ago with a twist, instead of using tomato paste, I use sun dried tomatoes…really gives it a rich tomato flavor that I crave. Growing up in my house there was always a pasta dish in our house on Sundays, my mom would simmer sauce all day long and the house smelled like an Italian restaurant and I could not wait to dig into it at dinner.  This is a much quicker sauce and it’s not a marinara but it packs in the flavor and I love it over thick pasta like Penne or Rigatoni, throw some good Parmesan cheese on it and you will be in comfort food heaven. This recipe is quick and easy for entertaining or weeknight dinners with your family.
