Penne Alla Vodka is one of those dishes I think of when I think of something that I would order at an old school Italian restaurant. Now, I am not going to claim that my recipe is old school, because I know those guys all have their secret recipes and ingredients that I know nothing about. What I will say is that my recipe for Penne All Vodka is incredibly delicious, super quick, so easy and it absolutely satisfies my pasta cravings.
From start to finish, this pasta can be made in 25 minutes. A lot of that time is waiting for the sauce to simmer or pasta to boil, so it really is an incredibly easy dish to make. I love recipes that sound like they require a lot more time and work than they really do. You can fool your family into thinking you slaved over this sauce all day!
Please let me know how this dish turns out for you, and please enjoy!
