This recipe is another that I am really proud of! It is an adaptation from a a friend's recipe. Her's is left chunky. I had to tweak the amount of cream that makes it velvety and Vodka to increase the nutty flavor that is indicative to Vodka sauces. This also freezed beautifully. It is now a family favorite, even by my own Mother. Enjoy!
