Penne alla Vodka | Fine Dining from Your Own Kitchen!
Penne alla vodka is a traditional pasta dish found in many fine restaurants that you can recreate in your own kitchen.
And that will rival the most acclaimed eating establishments.
Here’s a good practice for successful cooking.
Do as much prep work as possible, before starting to bring the ingredients together.
It reduces a lot of the stress of timing the stages of the recipe and possibly ruining the dish.
So that you can jump to the topic in the episode that you may want to review more closely, here is where to find it in the timeline:

Here is the list of items that you’ll need to feed four to six adults:
List of Ingredients for Sauce
1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 medium sweet onion coarsely chopped
4 to 5 cloves of fresh garlic (coarsely chopped)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can of San Marzano tomatoes (28 oz)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flake
1/2 tablespoon salt (Kosher preferably for sauce)
1/2 tablespoon coarse black pepper
1-3/4 cup heavy cream (12 oz)
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 cup of fresh julienned basil
parmigiana cheese
Ingredients for the Pasta
1 pound imported penne pasta
4 quarts of water for pasta
1/2 cup salt for pasta water (Kosher preferably)
This is our general rule of thumb for salting pasta water:
Use two tablespoons of salt for every quarter of water...or one-half cup of salt per gallon of water.
And also remember, only add salt to boiling water. That way your pot won’t become pockmarked by the corrosive salt.
