It looks like a simple tomato and herb sauce. Vodka is a liquor valued for being flavorless and odorless. What does it contribute to a tomato sauce?
In: Chemistry
I may not be 100% correct, but a Vodka sauce typically has a tomato, a pork product (such as pancetta) and a cream component. Due to the fact that alcohol dissolves both fat and water, once the vodka is added, it will prevent the sauce from separating without adding too much flavour. This makes for a tasty, and very easy sauce.
