    Wow, I don't review much, but what a terrific flavor!! Roasting the tomatoes gives it such depth of flavor, I will definitely make this again. I don't love hot stuff so I may back off a little of the crushed red pepper next time, but it wasn't too hot at all. Just my preference. This would be great for a crowd with some crunchy italian bread...

    This is seriously the best vodka sauce I've had....not really a lot of hands on work and the end result was a sauce that didn't get absorbed into the pasta but instead coated the pasta with a smoky robust flavor.

    Everyone loved this. Instructions are perfect and I followed them exactly. The sauce didn't need the last touch of salt or pepper (I thought. Also, I thought I had crushed red pepper flakes and didn't, only had ground red pepper, so I used 1/4 tsp plus another pinch or so. It had a mild kick to it and I don't think I would want it any hotter. Next time I try this, I think I'm going to go with a light cream as I did feel the sauce was a bit thick and heavy. Overall, this is a keeper, definitely one to impress. Thanks Ina!

    I cook a lot, but only 'save' a few recipes. This is one of 'saved'. The work is minimal, the taste is huge. I only eat a little pasta since i'm getting older - this will be my go - to . I love heat, and usually put in hot peppers etc., without measuring; I measured (because Ina always does, and glad that i did.

    I have made this sauce several times and it turns out good every time. I have substituted a dry white wine when I don't have vodka on hand and it works well too, and I have also left it in the oven for longer than the recipe calls for and it still turns out good. This is my favorite sauce recipe to use by far.

    So, This is just amazing! And Im not even done making it. We are having a party tomorrow and this is what I am bringing, so I roasted the sauce and tomorrow I will blend it and add the cream, but just the roasted tomatoes and onions is sooooo amazing! The heat is just right. Can wait for tomorrow to eat it!

    This is the best penne vodka recipe!! You use a lot of vodka, but putting it in the oven for 1 1/2 hours actually make this sauce 'fabulous!' I have tried others, but I have finally found my permanent KEEPER.

    Ti voglio bene! First time I've been moved to comment on a recipe. This came out so delicious I wanted to bathe in it. Didn't have fresh oregano and used the vodka I had which was run o'the mill Russian - and it was still delicious. For personal taste tweaking, I halved the red pepper, and I only used about 1/4 C cream, too. I froze 1C just to see how it will do... So, so, so good!
