I have been wondering for a long time how to make a quick penne ala vodka sauce, semi homemade, and when I was in a favorite butcher shop a few weeks ago I liked what i saw and asked what they put in theirs. they let me in on a little secret...jar sauce, but that was all they told me. Well I tried every brand out there, however, they were all horrible. So I said no great chef tells all their secrets and off I went to make my own...with a little hint... please share and enjoy
