How to Make Penne alla Vodka
In this essay I will tell you how to prepare Penne alla Vodka the Italian way. A recipe that has been in my family for years passed down from my grandmother straight from Italy. You must gather ingredients, prepare the ingredients, and then finally serve your finished meal. First step to making Penne alla Vodka is to get the following ingredients, Salt
One 35-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, with their liquid, 1 pound penne, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 10 cloves garlic, peeled crushed hot red pepper, 1/4 cup vodka, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil for finishing the sauce. Next we start to prepare the ingredients, Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil, Pour the tomatoes and their liquid into a food processor. Using quick on/off pulses, process the tomatoes just until they are finely chopped. Stir the penne into the boiling water. Bring the water back to a boil, stirring frequently, until done about. This takes about 8 to 10 minutes all together. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut garlic cloves with a knife and add them to the hot oil. Cook, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Lower the processed tomatoes close to the skillet and carefully slide the tomatoes into the pan. Bring to a boil, season with salt and crushed red pepper, boil for 2 minutes. Pour in the vodka, lower the heat so the sauce is at a simmer, and simmer until the pasta is ready. Just before the pasta is done, fish the garlic cloves out of the sauce and pour in the cream. Add the 2 tablespoons butter or oil, pour the pasta out of the boiling water and drop it directly into the sauce in the skillet. Bring the sauce and pasta to a boil, stirring to coat the pasta with sauce. Check the seasoning, Sprinkle the parsley over the pasta and boil until the sauce is reduced
