Pasta alla Vodka

This rich and velvety Pasta alla Vodka delivers a perfect balance of tangy tomatoes, a subtle kick from chili flakes, and a luxurious creaminess that clings to each bite of al dente rigatoni. The sauce, infused with a splash of vodka that deepens the flavor without overpowering, is elevated by caramelized shallots and garlic, creating a dish that’s far more than the sum of its parts. Worth making for its restaurant-worthy taste and effortless elegance, it’s a weeknight meal that feels indulgent without demanding much time or skill.
