Critical Success Points

  • Add vodka at the end and cook only briefly so the alcohol flavor remains.
  • Use reserved pasta water to achieve a glossy, emulsified sauce.
  • Stir in Parmesan off the heat to avoid curdling.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and boiling water with care to avoid burns.
  • Alcohol vapors can ignite; add vodka off the heat and keep flame away.
