- When boiling the pasta, add a few drops of olive oil to prevent it from becoming sticky.
- Always turn off the heat when you add vodka, as the alcohol has a higher chance of catching fire, and the ingredients may sputter a lot.
- Do not overcook the veggies as they may get soggy later when you add the vodka and tomato puree.
- If you don't let it simmer long enough to cook out the majority of the alcohol, you'll taste it and the dish will be overpowered.
- Don't use dried herbs or garlic from a bottle. This vodka sauce is made much better with the addition of these fresh ingredients.
