The Story Behind This pasta recipe
Vodka pasta was born from a daring meeting of Italian tradition and modern creativity. While its exact origin remains a bit mysterious, it is said that this dish first appeared in Italian restaurants in the United States in the 1970s. Vodka, then rarely used in cooking, began to elevate creamy sauces by adding depth and smoothness.
Salmon, rich and delicate, naturally became the perfect choice to elevate the recipe and give it that refined touch. The marriage of salmon and vodka became a classic, combining the richness of smoked fish, the subtle acidity of vodka, and the enveloping creaminess of the sauce.
Over time, this recipe has become a must-have for elegant meals, while remaining accessible to everyone. Its popularity continues to grow thanks to its unique taste and its ability to delight even the most demanding palates.
