How to Use
Warm the sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally so the cream base heats evenly without scorching. Toss with cooked penne for a classic penne alla vodka, or use it with rigatoni, gnocchi, or shrimp pasta. It also works as a rich base for baked chicken dishes or a creamy pizza sauce. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and use within about five to seven days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce contain allergens?
Yes. This sauce is made with cream and Parmesan cheese, so it contains milk, and it is produced in a facility that may also handle other allergens between production runs. Anyone with a dairy allergy should read the printed ingredient label on the jar before using it, since allergen statements can vary by batch.
How should I store Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce?
Keep an unopened jar in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate the jar and use the remaining sauce within about five to seven days, stirring before reheating since the cream-based sauce can separate slightly on standing. Always use a clean utensil when scooping sauce from the jar.
What makes Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce different from Carbone Marinara?
Classic Vodka Sauce is built on cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese blended with tomatoes and a splash of vodka, giving it a rich, velvety texture. Carbone Marinara skips the cream and relies on vine-ripened tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a lighter tomato sauce. Both share the same 15 oz jar size and gluten-free recipe.
Where is Carbone Classic Vodka Sauce made?
Read the printed label on the jar for the manufacturer's current sourcing and production details, since packaging can be updated between runs. The recipe is inspired by the vodka sauce served at the Carbone restaurants in New York City, and the jarred sauce is sold as a gluten-free, no-preservative product available as a Single jar or Pack of 3.
