Marinara is boring. Alfredo is boring. But, together (and with a little kick) the two make magic.
Think creamy tomato with as much or as little red pepper as you want. Delicious!

This spicy vodka sauce recipe is so easy, you can whip it up on the spot for a simple pasta dinner, or make it in advance and freeze it for nights when you're in a pinch.

I've used this one batch three times now, serving it over noodles, cheese ravioli and manicotti. It's a hit every time and makes dinner fast. It does take at least a day to thaw in the fridge, though, so think ahead.
