Vodka Cream Sauce

This vodka with cream sauce is hearty, filling, and is great for busy nights when you want to use packaged foods such as rice pasta and organic tomato sauce. Combine those with cashews and vodka, and voila, you have a delicious sauce and a cheap meal.

Notes

I didn’t use much vodka in my kids’ version, and I made sure to render it (boil it off) fully. Otherwise, the evening would have been a bit, well, livelier.
