A vodka marinara sauce is largely exactly what it sounds like -- use your
regular tomato sauce recipe, but after sauteeing your onions, garlic, crushed
chile, and dried herbs, deglaze with vodka rather than wine. All of the nice
alcohol-soluable flavors will bloom in the vodka, but the sauce will not be
otherwise altered (as it is when you deglaze with, say, red wine).
I was at a wedding on City Island in the Bronx last summer and I think we had
"penne vodka" as a first course for every single meal -- and they were all
fantastic.
