  1. It changes the texture and flavor of tomato sauce ever so slightly.  It's so subtle, I can't describe it.   If you ever make Penne Vodka, add some crisp bacon, it's out of this world.


  2. It just adds a different element of flavor, much like the addition of wine to a sauce.

  3. It adds an exotic touch..

    evaporating alcohol carries the aroma of the spice oils..

    ???

  4. There are certain chemical properties (flavors) in tomatoes that can only be tasted by humans if they are mixed with alcohol. Thus, adding vodka or wine to a tomato sauce brings out some of the subtler flavors. Personally, I like a bit of alcohol in pasta sauce.
