About Penne a la vodka

Penne A La Vodka is a creamy and flavorful Italian-American pasta dish that combines tender penne with a rich tomato-based sauce. The sauce is made by blending crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, vodka, garlic, and olive oil, often infused with a touch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Parmesan cheese is typically added, enhancing its savory profile, and fresh basil may garnish the dish for a fragrant finish. While indulgent, the recipe provides a good source of energy and some nutrients from tomatoes, like lycopene and Vitamin C. However, it can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, depending on the cream and cheese used, so portion control is key. Pairing it with a side of steamed vegetables or a leafy salad can help balance the meal. This dish is a delicious option for those seeking a rich and satisfying pasta experience.
