3. Pour in the vodka and stir until combined. Slowly add one cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly.
4. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Stir in the milk and remaining heavy cream, and simmer for another few minutes.
6. Add the cooked pasta, cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Stir the sauce, adding some pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency. For an extra cheesy kick, add more mozzarella.
