It might be the drop in temperature that awakened my carb-cravings. I have been thinking about penne alla vodka for days and finally I got all the ingredients.
There were several versions of this dish in Cooks Illustrated but I went straight to the "Penne Alla Vodka" recipe. Another day I might try other versions. Although it took me several attempts to acquire all the ingredients, it really was a simple recipe that involves mostly kitchen stables such as whole peel tomato, tomato paste, onion, garlic, heavy cream, basil, onion, garlic and chili pepper. Oh wait, and some high quality vodka.
The result was amazing. Given the simplicity of the recipe, I wasn't expecting much, but WOW, it was tasty! My girls even thought it was their beloved baked ziti. Now why would I go through all the trouble and calories to make baked ziti if I can spend 30 minutes for a tasty and hearty penne alla vodka! I highly recommend this recipe!
Now that I have my very first bottle of vodka, what should I do! I am seeing apple pie with a special dough involving vodka!
