Pasta with the creamiest vodka sauce for the win tonight.

It’s a major dinner win, trust me.

And right now, we’re allllll about the easy dinners over here.

While the stay-at-home fatigue hasn’t sent us out to dinner yet, it’s kind of whipped us in the kitchen. Give me easy easy easy!

So, vodka sauce!

This comes together in one pan, then you toss the pasta right in. Top with golden toasty rosemary breadcrumbs and you’re set!

Smells like heaven, tastes even better.

Because this creamy sauce is a DREAM.

It’s no secret that tomato sauce has never been my favorite. In fact, I loathed it growing up and didn’t end up truly enjoying it until I was pregnant with Max! Thankfully, that stuck and ever since, I’ve been able make and love things with tomato sauce.

However! Before that, as long as it was a tomato cream sauce? I could get on board. And now, I’d never pass that up. It’s light but decadent at the same time.

For this vodka sauce, we’re using tomato paste. I absolutely love this trick – it’s what I use to make the sauce for my homemade spaghettios. It really adds a rich depth of flavor and also allows the sauce to be super smooth. There are no tomato chunks!

I do like to sauté some shallots and garlic to start, but once that tomato paste goes in, it’s the heart of the sauce.

Then, it’s time to deglaze the pan with some vodka! This helps to emulsify the sauce and create a silky coat-the-back-of-the-spoon feel. You’ll want to eat it right out of the pan.

Or take a big hunk of sourdough to it. Yummm.

The best part about vodka sauce is that it so lightly coats the noodles, but coats them completely. It’s like a silky blanket that covers the pasta and is perfect with crunchy breadcrumbs and parmesan on top.

This dish paired with the perfect salad and a glass of pinot noir is all we need.
