3/4 cup vodka? Should’ve realized doesn’t make sense. My whole sauce for bitter taste. Trying to cook out alcohol a little too help improve taste.

Straight forward recipe. Worth the extra effort in comparison to serving pasta with store bought sauce and cheese.

Does it need to be lvov vodka, or is any vodka okay?
