My wife is Italian, so pasta is a staple. We might as well have a thread on the subject.
Vodka sauce is not one of her accomplishments. In theory, it should be simple. Soften onions in rendered fat and add pepper flakes, garlic, and herbs. Heat through. Add vodka, and reduce. To the reduction add tomatoes and eventually cream.
Simple, except I have not found a recipe I like. Have any of you tried this staple of the jarred pasta brigade? What makes it work? Is it the ingredients, the technique, or something else?
