5-Ingredient Vodka Sauce Recipe Is Quick, Rich & Creamy

Chef Luigi Franzese from Orsini's restaurant in New York and Pasquale Bruno Jr., author of The Ultimate Pasta Cookbook, both lay claim to inventing vodka sauce. We don't know who did, we're just happy they created it. This easy vodka sauce has just five ingredients: butter, onion, vodka (of course), crushed tomatoes and heavy cream. Simple and delish. 

This quick five-ingredient vodka sauce recipe is velvety, rich and oh, so good. Serve this tasty red pasta sauce over your favorite pasta or drizzle over chicken breasts. You could even make lasagna with it.
