Tips for Making Penne alla Vodka with Smoked Salmon
- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Opt for a smooth vodka, such as Ketel One or Grey Goose, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the penne. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and becoming mushy. - Add the vodka to the pan gradually, allowing it to simmer for a minute or two before adding the cream. This will help prevent the alcohol from overpowering the dish. - Don't boil the vodka sauce. Keep it at a gentle simmer to prevent it from curdling. - Add the smoked salmon to the sauce just before serving. This will help prevent it from overcooking and becoming tough. - Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.Conclusion
