Trivia

• The alcohol used in this dish serves two functions: first, it unleashes new flavors in the tomatoes that are otherwise unnoticeable, and second, it acts as an emulsifier. This means that it keeps the sauce stable, as the acidic tomato sauce and the oil in the cream sauce would normally react poorly with each other.
