Rigatoni with Vodka Sauce
Sunday night dinners are all about pasta in our house. After all it is the Italian way to go on a Sunday! This dish is a classic Sunday night dinner in our house. It is super simple and everyone loves it.
We made this dish last Sunday after coming back from a weekend at the beach. It was the perfect way to end the weekend and serve another great Sunday Italian meal. We highly recommend giving this pasta dish a try because it is such a crowd pleaser and so so simple to make. If you are coming back from a weekend at the shore and need an easy Sunday dinner to make this needs to be your go-to!
