Found this recipe (and your wonderful blog) via a Google search for spaghetti alla vodka. The addition of the crayfish was inspired and really transformed the dish. My husband has made me add this to my ‘must make again’ list. Thank you!

GC, it adds a background richness and depth I think. A bit like adding brandy to a sauce or to French onion soup does. Most of the alcohol cooks away, so you don’t get harshness from it.

I have seen a few recipes using it but I am not sure what it adds besides a certain sharpness?

This (tomato version) is a frequent standby for me on those long nights in the kitchen. Never thought of adding alcohol though. Or crayfish – keep meaning to pick some up.

Yours looks lovely!
