There’s a common misconception about pasta sauces: their difficult and time consuming to make from scratch. The truth is, most are quite simple and take very little time from start to finish. That’s why this shrimp pasta alla vodka dish is one of our favorite weeknight dinners. A delicious homemade vodka sauce, ocean-caught shrimp and fresh fettuccine make this dish an unstoppable trinity of perfection.

Learn how to make this delicious shrimp pasta alla vodka dish with culinary art instructor Chef Cesar Herrera and special guest, Laura Devries, a student in the accredited online culinary program.
