Fast pasta alla vodka is a delicious, typical Italian dish and goes well with autumn and winter. With a little vegan cream (or coconut milk), vegan parmesan and various herbs and spices, a meal is created that other foods will gobble up so quickly that there is not even enough time for dessert. The spicy sauce with our parsley pesto and a good dash of vodka make this pasta dish an intensely fragrant meal.
Vodka in the pasta sauce?
Yes, no problem and it tastes really good too! And you don’t have to worry or be a friend of vodka, because in the quick pasta alla vodka the alcohol evaporates during cooking. You won’t get drunk with this pasta!

Plant-based cream alternatives
By the way, any vegetable cream can be used for the vodka sauce. Whether based on soy, oats or coconut, everything tastes good. For non-vegetarians, of course, the usual cream is also possible!
Vodka sauce for pasta
The sauce alone without the vodka tastes very good. Tomato paste and vegetable cream made into a delicious creamy sauce, with a good dash of vodka gives this sauce a wonderful and unique feel that is simply delicious.
