Vodka Pasta is a luxurious yet simple Italian dish where al dente penne meets a silky sauce of tomato paste, cream, and vodka. The base is built by sautéing onions and garlic, then emulsifying tomato paste with vodka and cream. Reserved pasta water ensures the sauce clings perfectly, creating a luscious, restaurant-style finish.
