Hello!
Dustin and I have decided to come up with the ULTIMATE vodka, wine, blush sauce – and boy, this is one crazy-good recipe.
I’ve always preferred my vodka sauce to be hearty. I’ve had simple vodka and blush sauces in the past, and they were just “okay”. I enjoy getting bites of mushroom, onion, peas, and prosciutto in my vodka sauce. It adds so much flavor and depth.
One day when I decided to whip up a vodka sauce, I realized I didn’t have enough vodka, so I decided to improvise a bit. So, I threw in some wine that we had lying around.
We’ve played around with the amounts over each batch we made and have finally landed on this recipe.
It is truly the ultimate mushroom, blush, vodka, wine sauce you will ever try.
