Campanelle with Vodka Sauce

This recipe is very easy and  you don't need to put a lot of spices in it..You can add the vodka or leave it out.

This sauce will be the sauce of choice for my chicken and mozzarella ravioli on Christmas Day!  I will eliminate the vodka since my grandchildren will definitely try some.


Happy Cooking from my kitchen to yours,
