Is Vodka Sauce Authentic Italian?
Vodka sauce is not a traditional or authentic Italian sauce. It is believed to have originated in Italy in the mid-20th century, but it became popular in the United States, particularly in the 1980s. The sauce typically consists of tomato sauce, heavy cream, and vodka, although there are variations that include other ingredients. While it may not be authentic Italian, it has become a popular sauce in Italian-American cuisine.
