One of my cooking projects for myself is to find a great tomato sauce for pasta. My main focus is to find a great all-day spaghetti sauce, but other quicker sauces are definitely on my radar too. When I found this tomato sauce recipe that uses vodka, I instantly had to try it because over the years I heard that vodka makes great sauces. This was an easy dish to prepare, and my husband got all bug-eyed when he saw me pour a cup of vodka and found out it was for dinner, lol. The sauce itself was pretty good, but the dish all around didn't stand out too much for me. If I had made some chicken parmesan to top the pasta with and made it a heartier meal, this really would have been a success. The next time I do plan on making chicken parmesan, I will pair it with this penne dish to see if the recipe was much more worthy and update this post.
