Robin’s Recipe: Pasta Alla Vodka 💫

If you know me, you know this already: cooking is my love language.
It’s how I slow down, how I care for the people around me, and how I say “I’m thinking of you” without using words.

This Pasta Alla Vodka is one of those recipes I come back to again and again. It’s cozy, a little indulgent, and simple enough for a weeknight—but special enough to share with people you love. I’ve made it for family dinners, friends gathered around the kitchen island, and now I made it for the Vance Wealth team too!

Food has a way of bringing people together, and that’s exactly what I hope this recipe does for you too.

  2. Stir the cream into the tomato-vodka sauce.
  3. Simmer over low heat until the sauce is heated through.
  4. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and well blended.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water.
