Can kids have vodka sauce?

The alcohol in vodka sauce is cooked off as it simmers. The amount of time spent simmering the sauce is an important element of making vodka sauce. Vodka sauce should be cooked for at least 15 minutes to allow for this to happen.

How does vodka affect pasta sauce?

Vodka adds acidity to this creamy tomato sauce as it intensifies the flavors and balances the sweetness of the tomatoes. It adds an unmatchable zestiness to the sauce.

What can I use instead of heavy cream for vodka pasta?

Half and half can be substituted for heavy cream in this recipe. Milk will not be a suitable substitute here, it just won't be thick enough to get the velvety texture you want!
