Heinz and Absolut have launched Pasta Alla Vodka, a pasta sauce inspired by the legendary penne alla vodka dish, which has been the subject of controversy over its origin.
Food historians attribute the creation of the sauce to Chef Luigi Franzese of New York’s Orsini restaurant in the 1970s, while others believe it was conceived in the 1980s by Columbia University graduate James Doty. Meanwhile, Italian chefs have also made their own claims. However, what is undisputed is that Pasta Alla Vodka is a hit with the crowd and has gone viral on TikTok thanks to a video by Gigi Hadid adding her own personal touch.
Heinz and Absolut have collaborated
That’s why Heinz and Absolut have teamed up to release their own version of the classic sauce. The limited edition jars are available at Waitrose stores in the UK. The advertising campaign pays homage to Absolut’s 1980s ads with a simple visual design and slogans including «Absolutely Heinz. Ridiculously good» and «Absolutely tomato. Ridiculously good.»

The new New Ventures division and in-house creative workshop, The Kitchen, have launched a series of innovative products, from the launch of the Amoy’s SOSU pan-Asian meal kits to the special «Marz Edition» ketchup.
The Pasta Alla Vodka advertising campaign will be published on billboards in London and on social media with the hashtag #AbsolutelyHeinz.
