Thank you! I don't normally cook with tomato-based sauces because I don't like the acidity.

If you want to cut the acidity in tomato based sauces start with a couple of carrots chopped finely in a food processor, but the cream in a vodka sauce will also help. My vodka sauce recipe is mostly cream with just a couple tablespoons of tomato paste.

Hey. New board.
I read "vodka sauce" and think "cream sauce with a bit of tomato." It's definitely way less acidic than a traditional tomato sauce, but also way more creamy which is not really my personal bag.

Cream of tomato soup doesn't call for vodka, does it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not in my experience.

"Vodka sauce" just doesn't fit comfortably in my brain. I'm sure it's lovely but I think I will continue to irrationally exclude it from my worldview.

Vodka sauce is delicious, and makes great pizza too.

The thing itself doesn't trouble me, I just can't make the name mean that in my head.

Our wings are not tired.
Yum, vodka sauce, which for unknown reasons I have never made but have happily consumed in restaurants.
Also, I think hippocampus might be a portal demon, just sayin'.

Generally the alcohol in anything seriously cooked burns/evaporates off, and what you're left with is the flavorings. Aside from the emulsifying properties in the vodka sauce, I can't imagine the vodka does much for the flavor of itself.
