    I absolutely love this Roasted Pepper Vodka Sauce! It can turn a simple pasta meal into an expensive, restaurant delight. It doesn't have a lot of fancy ingredients (besides vodka 🙂 ), and it won't take too much of your time to make. And the result... Oh, it's so yummy!

    The combination of sweet, roasted peppers, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and a hint of vodka is truly amazing. My whole family is crazy about this sauce and yours will be, too. The key here is using good-quality Parmesan, and don't skip the vodka. Just mix some of this sauce with penne or your favorite pasta, and voila! You've got a very special dinner ready.

      This is amazing! Been looking for a tomato-free sauce for us since some of us cannot have tomatoes. Just one note, is the nutrition label perhaps for multiple servings rather than one? 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!

        Thanks, Brigitte! This recipe makes about 2 cups of the sauce, and the nutrition label reflects the full batch (2 cups) of the sauce. Hope this helps.

      Is the roasted pepper just roasted red bell pepper or another type?

        Hi Sam! It is just roasted red bell peppers from the jar. Hope you'll give this a try. Happy cooking!

      I love this! The sauce sounds seriously good. I pinned to my "bucket list" board - will definitely be making this soon, hopefully with peppers from my own garden.

      I hope you're doing well. 🙂
