Penne Vodka is a creamy Italian-American pasta dish that combines penne, a tubular pasta, with a rich tomato-based vodka sauce. The sauce is made with ingredients like tomatoes, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and a splash of vodka, which helps to enhance the flavors by emulsifying the cream and tomatoes. Often seasoned with basil, red pepper flakes, or onion, it offers a balance of savory and slightly tangy notes. While Penne Vodka is hearty and indulgent, it is relatively high in calories due to the heavy cream and cheese. However, the dish provides carbohydrates for energy and calcium from the dairy components, plus lycopene from the tomatoes, an antioxidant that supports heart health. Though delicious, moderation is key, as the fat content can be significant. Penne Vodka is a fusion of Italian tradition and innovation, popular for its creamy texture and satisfying flavor.
