Vegan Vodka Sauce
Vegan Vodka Sauce
This recipe is a total lifesaver on busy days when I have less than 15 minutes to throw dinner together. It requires no prep and no chopping, I just need to get the ingredients together and cook everything in one pan. While the sauce is simmering I boil the pasta and just like that, dinner is ready!
