Giada De Laurentiis‘ new, easy pasta dish is something our pasta-filled dreams are made of. While many recipes call for some hard-to-get ingredients, you can get all of these ingredients easily, including the most important one: vodka!

On Nov 2, De Laurentiis posted a snapshot of a pasta recipe we’re going to try ASAP. She posted it to her page @thegiadzy with the caption, “Pasta Alla Vodka is like the Taylor Swift of pasta recipes — insanely popular and could easily fill a stadium with its fans. It’s simple, creamy, and has the most incredible flavor. Our recipe has the most incredible tomato sauce made from scratch. Trust us, you’ll want this in rotation pretty frequently.

This beginner-friendly pasta has our mouths watering so much right now. For this simple, yet decadent pasta recipe, you need a few ingredients like short pasta (penne or rigatoni), Simple Tomato Sauce, vodka, and more. (Trust us, it’s not a lot!) But the simple tomato sauce is where things get a little crazy, because you need quite a few ingredients like garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, basil leaves, black pepper, and more.

With a prep time of 15 minutes and a cook time of around an hour, this recipe is quite simplistic compared to her many more difficult dishes. You start by simmering the tomato sauce and vodka in a large skillet, and within no time, you’ll be putting it in a food processor.

De Laurentiis noted that you can freeze it for up to six months and that if the sauce tastes too acidic, you can always add unsalted butter until it’s better.
