Linguine and Summer Vodka Sauce image

Dash of liquor makes pasta dish stand out. COOKS Notes: adjust amounts to your taste. Also, think about adding sweet onion and serving grilled Italian sausage on the side. Please note: this is an adopted recipe: Well I never thought of putting strong liqour into pasta, I have tried this recipe myself now with both Vodka and Gin (seperately of course) and experimented with following the recipe exactly or adding the liquor a minute or two before the cream and cooking it a little. Results: the taste is mellow and softer if you cook it a little so it depends entirely on how much flavour you prefer, all versions were very well received here. Have a go yourself and be pleasantly surprised :) ZWT REGION: Italy.
