Have you ever wondered why vodka sauce tastes so rich and flavorful? It’s not an Italian secret—it’s science! The alcohol actually enhances the flavor of the sauce by balancing the sweetness of the tomatoes and working on the fat solids in the cream. Paired with our Bionaturae Sourdough Penne, this dish is a showstopper that's as comforting as it is delicious.
