This was absolutely delicious!! I did find the tomato sauce to be too acidic for my liking so I added a few tbsp of sugar and that really did the trick! My mom has always added sugar to her tomato sauce so I tried that instead of Giada's butter trick.

Adding the 1/2 up of grated cheese at the end really does give the sauce an extra layer of flavor! Do not skip this step!

This recipe was excellent and easy I added some Italian seasoning to the sauce and let it cook for an extra 10 minutes before adding the cream! I used spaghetti sauce from the jar and put it in the food processor! Huge success with my 9 year! He asked for extra!

WAY TOO MUCH VODKA. Use a 1/4 cup of vodka and you'll probably have more than enough. Wasted a heck of a lot of time, food, and money because I put an entire cup of vodka in the sauce. Giada, please amend the recipe, that must be a mistake.

This is one of the best tomato based pasta recipes I have ever used. I serve it so often for dinner guests and it is always a huge hit.
I serve it with freshly grilled grilled king prawns.

Excellent creamy, velvety and just the right amount of flavor. Better than most of the restaurants in my neighborhood who overcharge for their vodka sauce. This is one of my favorite variants to my homemade marinara which I make a lot of. Kudos to Giada. Will make many more times in the future.

Vodka is basically a neutral spirit, i.e., grain alcohol diluted with water. There's really very little point to adding a cup of it, then cooking off most of the alcohol and most of the water. Instead, wait until after the sauce is done, turn off the heat, then add vodka to taste - I find that 2-3 TBL is about right.

Other than that, it's a decent recipe.

I didn't LOVE it, but I thought it was pretty good.

I've ordered this a lot at restaurants and definitely have had better, but this is a good recipe if you want to make it yourself.

Also, I've made her 'simple tomato sauce' many times now, and it's always delicious to go with any pasta...

Delicious! I reduced it longer than the 20 minutes, added sauteed shrimp and mushrooms after cream, very tasty. I also liked the tomato sauce, froze some of both for future use.
