Baked Vodka Sauce Pasta
This Baked Vodka Sauce Pasta is creamy, cheesy, and utterly satisfying—perfect for a cozy night in. Radiatori pasta is tossed in a rich vodka tomato cream sauce made with garlic, tomato paste, heavy cream, and a splash of vodka. Parmesan and mozzarella melt into the sauce, coating every curve of the pasta. The dish is finished in the oven, creating a golden, bubbly top that’s broiled to perfection. Topped with fresh parsley and extra cheese, this pasta delivers a comforting blend of sharp, savory, and creamy notes.
