ITALIAN RADIATORE WITH CREAMED VODKA SAUCE
Did you know that "CREAM VODKA SAUCE" was invented in Italy ? Early in the 1970,s vodka was a relatively new spirit to the Italians. So to promote the consumption of Vodka in Italy, a recipe contest was held among Italian chefs.Creamed Vodka Sauce was invented and the rage in Italy in the mid 70,s! Then the Americans were entranced by the idea, even though it is nothing more than a tomato cream sauce with hot pepper and a good dose of vodka! which is not detect-able in the finished dish. I decided to tweak it a little for my own recipa. Serve with Italian bread,salad and a glass of Red VI
