Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce















Hubby is out of town tonight, so EC and I are with Glama and Pappy. Glama found a recipe for Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce. It was AMAZING and so easy!

EC ate almost 2 plate fulls! For a very picky toddler, that is pretty good!

Happy birthday Hubby! Love you!!

Here's the recipe!

1/4 lb. diced pancetta
1/4 c. butter
1/3 c. vodka
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb. penne pasta
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 c. tomato sauce

Melt the butter in a large frying pan. When the butter foams, add the diced pancetta. When the pancetta browns slightly (takes 3 - 4 minutes), add the vodka and stir.

After the alcohol burns off, stir in the tomato sauce and cream (the alcohol only takes a minute or two to burn off).

Stir continuously for 5 - 8 minutes. Place drained pasta into frying pan, add Parmesan cheese, and mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes.

Serves 4 - 6.
