Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound cooked ham (better to use Italian cooked ham)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 large white onions, finely chopped
1.3 quarts (700 ml) tomato sauce (or blended canned peeled Italian tomatoes)
3 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley leaves
1 quart heavy cream reduced by half (1/2 quart)
3/4 cup vodka
Salt and pepper
2 pounds penne liscie # 40 (recommended: De Cecco)

Steps:

  • Finely dice the cooked ham and set it aside.
  • Place a heavy bottom sautoir or pan on medium-high flame. Add the olive oil and the butter. When the butter melts and becomes foamy add the chopped onions, let it saute until crispy, and do not let it brown.
  • Add the diced ham, mix it in, lower the flame and let it sweat for about 15 minutes, stir it occasionally.
  • Add the tomato sauce, mix it in, let it simmer for another 20 minutes, then add the parsley, simmer for 3 minutes, add the reduced heavy cream and the vodka, mix it all well and let simmer for 20 minutes
  • Check the consistency, simmer for other 10 minutes if you need to, season and mix in the cooked penne, let it simmer for 2 minutes and serve it HOT!!!
  • Procedure to cook the pasta: In a pasta-cooker or a soup pot, add 6 quarts of salted water and place it over medium-high flame. Bring the water to a boil, add the penne at once, lower the flame to medium, partially cover the pot, and let it cook for about 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, drain it and dress the pasta with your favorite sauce.

I've tried this recipe a few times and it always turns out great! The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the pasta is always cooked perfectly. I love that this dish is so easy to make, yet it tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant.

This recipe is a great starting point for a pennette alla vodka dish. I made a few changes to suit my taste, such as adding more garlic and using a different type of vodka. The final product was delicious and I would definitely make it again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less vodka or red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy food.

This recipe is a keeper! The sauce is creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pasta is cooked al dente and the vodka adds a nice touch of heat. I will definitely be making this dish again.
