It has taken more than 150 years but Heinz is now introducing its first-ever pasta sauce thanks to a collaboration with Absolut for Pasta alla Vodka. This vodka pasta sauce in a jar taps into a viral recipe from Gigi Hadid for spicy vodka pasta and the popularity of the dish, plus the ease with which this sauce can be used, promises to make it a winner.
Heinz's first tomato vodka pasta sauce is coming to major UK supermarkets and it's a limited-edition release that shares the rich and creamy flavors of tomato, basil and cheese. Although penne is the most popular choice of pasta for making this dish at home, the Heinz x Absolut Tomato Vodka Pasta Sauce is ready to be used on a variety of pasta types.
In this sauce, Absolut's premium vodka reduces to less than 1% during the cooking process but boosts the best qualities of the other ingredients.
