The recipe for the sauce made MORE than enough! I has so much left hour so I refrigerated it and froze some. I made it for Mary Beth and Matt because they are both so generous so I wanted to return the favor. 

I added some red pepper flakes. It was very good! The vodka gave a good taste, it was the only vodka sauce that I made that you could taste the vodka. Seemed watery but took to the penne well. Would definitely make again!
