Notes

I didn’t use much vodka in my kids’ version, and I made sure to render it (boil it off) fully. Otherwise, the evening would have been a bit, well, livelier.

    1. Don\’t want to talk this recipe down – in fact it sounds delicious but there is correction needed in the ingredients list.
      Marinara sauce is not vegan. It\’s Seafood Sauce, Marinara = ital. Mare = Ocean.
      It is Seafood in a light tomato sauce, garlic and/or onions, herbs.
      What you are referring to is called \’Napolitana\’ sauce, the traditional tomato pasta sauce.
      Kind regards
