DeLallo Pink Vodka Sauce isn't a decadent creamy cheese sauce or a tangy, rich tomato sauce, but both! This “pink sauce” is an instant favorite, combining nutty Pecorino Romano cheese, heavy cream and red-ripe Californian tomatoes in a fresh vegetable soffritto with fresh garlic. A splash of vodka helps to bring out the tomato’s rich vibrant flavors during the cooking process. We love our jarred Vodka Pasta Sauce paired up with DeLallo Penne Ziti.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is vodka sauce?

Vodka Sauce is an Italian-American pasta sauce that combines Italian tomatoes with nutty Italian cheeses (like Pecorino Romano cheese or Parmesan) and fresh cream. Some vodka sauces include fresh herbs or vegetables to add another dimension to its flavor. The addition of vodka is to bring out the flavors of the tomato. The resulting tomato sauce is rich and creamy with that lovable tangy tomato bite. Sometimes this sauce is referred to as “pink sauce,” because the cream lightens the red of the tomato.

Does this jar of vodka sauce have alcohol in it?

Yes, jarred vodka sauce contains a very small amount of vodka—just enough to bring out the flavor of tomatoes and to help to blend the tomatoes and the cream. There is nothing boozy about this jarred pasta sauce. A small amount of distilled spirits is added to the simmering sauce and most of it cooks off pretty quickly. The longer a sauce cooks, the more alcohol burns off.

What is the difference between vodka sauce (square jar) and pomodoro fresco vodka sauce?

The main difference between our two jarred vodka sauces is the type of tomatoes used. Our line of Pomodoro Fresco Sauces are small-batch sauces made with just a few fresh ingredients. DeLallo Vodka Sauce is also a creamy tomato sauce, or “pink sauce,” but features Californian Roma tomatoes and a longer ingredient list to include more herbs and spices.
