Penne Rigatti Ala Vodka image

A very easy recipe to make and is very tasty. Found a recipe similar to this one several years ago and made my own modifications to achieve a nice flavor. This recipe doubles very well, but be careful when igniting the Vodka. I suggest that the Vodka and cayenne pepper be burned in separte batches, then combine together before continuing with the recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked al dente. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes to taste. Will definitely be making this again!

Meh. I found the recipe underwhelming. The sauce lacked depth and richness, and the pasta was overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual penne alla vodka recipe.
