Spicy rigatoni vodka is a popular Italian-American pasta dish known for its creamy tomato sauce. The dish typically features rigatoni pasta, which is a tube-shaped variety that holds sauce well. The sauce is made with a blend of crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, and vodka, which adds a unique flavor and helps to enhance the overall taste. The "spicy" element comes from the addition of red pepper flakes or fresh chili peppers, giving the dish a mild to moderate heat. Often garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, spicy rigatoni vodka is a comforting and flavorful meal enjoyed by many.
