Vodka sauce

Vodka sauce, is a creamy tomato sauce used in Italian-American cuisine, made from a smooth tomato sauce, vodka, typical Italian herbs, and heavy cream .[citation needed] The sauce's color ranges from pink to reddish-orange depending how it is prepared. Although Vodka is cooked out of the dish in the later stages, it is thought that the vodka helps the cream and tomato blend together in an emulsion during the cooking process. Vodka sauce is creamy tomato with a smooth texture, and flavored with olive oil, parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic, and shallots.
