Pasta alla Vodka
Have you been to any good Italian restaurant lately? If so, I'm pretty sure that one of the pasta dishes on the menu was the Penne alla Vodka. This is a very popular dish (and for good reasons!), and it might be one of your favorite. Tonight I want to show that you too can make pasta alla vodka just like the one at the restaurant. What you will need is penne or another short pasta, like the rigatoni in my picture, a good can of tomatoes (I like the San Marzano whole tomatoes that I quickly crush with a hand blender), hot peppers to make the pasta as spicy as you like, and of course, some good vodka! Sometimes this sauce also comes with pancetta, but I personally prefer it without it. This way, it's also a great vegetarian recipe. It will take you no more than 30 minutes to prepare this spicy, rich and creamy pasta. I'm sure you will be delighted with the results!
