@HST40 No need to light it, it just speeds up the process. The idea is to burn off the alcohol, which can be simmered out, as well. Be careful with open flames though (especially a gas range), it could light itself!
The integrity of this recipe is spot on BUT there is a chemical reaction that happens when introducing alcohol to tomatoes. When you burn off the alcohol before-hand, you lose that flavor that occurs. The reason you use Vodka is because it is (supposedly) an odorless, flavorless alcoholic agent. Its not the flavor of the vodka, rather the chemical reaction that makes Vodka Sauce so special. I make it the same way other than that...
Eh, my only problem is sound is....have you watched any other cooking vids on youtube? the sound quality is so atrocious that I welcome the silence of this one haha - plus there's some awkward commentary out there.
@naudia8584 You can skip the pork and use a few tablespoons of olive oil to cook the onions and garlic if you like...I've done it a few times myself! Thank you for watching!

Try a few slices of fresh mozzarella. Also sliced prosciutto comes out really good in it too.

Looks very good. I must ask why are you using a spatula to stir in a hot pan? Not really the intended use.

@nls8520 why not? i use them too because they are non stick and dont scratch my pans or make the annoying noise.

@danilove1985 Reason why I don't use them, Spatulas are made of a soft material that is not meant for high heat and can easily melt.
nls8520 6 months ago
@nls8520 mine never melt.

Do you have to add the meat or can you make the sauce without it?
