About pasta alla vodka

Penne in a sauce of tomato, cream, and a splash of vodka, cooked long enough for most of the alcohol to burn off. The vodka is said to help bind the tomato and cream together.

What cooks argue about

Cooks argue over whether vodka does anything beyond emulsifying and adding a faint sharpness. The bigger technical split is cream simmered in early versus stirred in at the end to keep it from separating.
