PENNE ALLA VODKA



Penne alla Vodka image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound penne
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 whole medium onion, chopped finely
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup vodka
One 14-ounce can tomato puree or tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 generous pinch red pepper flakes, plus more if needed
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • Saute the garlic and onions in 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until soft. Pour in the vodka, being careful if your stove has an open flame (remove the pan from the heat before adding). Cook and reduce for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour in the tomato puree. Stir the mixture until it's thoroughly combined, then reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, then turn heat to the lowest simmer possible. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and add salt and pepper to taste. Finally, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour the drained pasta into the sauce and toss to combine. Sprinkle on the Parmesan, then sprinkle on more red pepper flakes if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic will make a big difference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is best for this dish.
  • Don't boil the vodka. This will burn off the alcohol and ruin the flavor of the sauce.
  • Add the vodka to the sauce slowly and stir constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Penne alla vodka is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender pasta, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
