Penne a la Vodka
This recipe makes me wish I hadn’t just had dinner so I could go make some right now! Guess I know what’s for dinner tomorrow night! :)
Wow, I’m sure my hubby, being Sicilian, would love this recipe. I just happened to have all the ingredients right now. I’m going to make one and will update you.
Share the recipe with me after you cooked it. I love trying new dishes. I never tasted vodka before and I never thought that it could mixed in a recipe.
Hey guys this is a new recipe I tried over the weekend that I found on the internet. It was a really yummy dish we served it with a salad. I think next time we may sprinkle a little parmesean cheese on top .
■1 (28 ounce) can diced or whole tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
■2 tablespoons olive oil
■4 tablespoons of butter
■9 gm (3 medium cloves) garlic , minced or pressed through garlic press
■1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
■Table salt
■80 gm vodka (1/3 cup)
■60 gm heavy cream (1/4 cup)
■2 tablespoons minced fresh basil leaves
■fresh ground pepper
1.If using whole tomatoes, dice into ½ inch pieces, discarding cores. Set aside.
2.Heat butter and oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3.Remove the saucepan from the flame and add vodka. Return to flame and cook over medium high heat until the alcohol fumes have cooked off and it is reduced to half, about 5 minutes.
4.Stir in tomatoes and a teaspoon of salt. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in cream and cook until hot, about 1 minute.
5.Meanwhile, bring two large pots with 4 quarts water to boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt to each pot and the pastas. Cook until just shy of al dente, then drain pasta, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water, and transfer pasta back to pot. Add sauce to pasta and toss over medium heat until pasta absorbs some of sauce, 1 to 2 minutes, adding reserved cooking water if sauce is too thick. Stir in basil and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
