Rigatoni alla Vodka
Why I love it
This is an easy yet ~fancy~ recipe to try for the weekend! Plus, it has vodka in it, so that’s always a good time. JK, the vodka cooks out, don’t worry! This is the best vodka sauce pasta I have EVER had. If you haven’t tried making it before, it is very simple and worth making it yourself. It’ll make you want to eat more and more of it til it’s all gone. Turn uppppp!!
