About Penne with vodka

Penne with vodka is a creamy pasta dish originating from Italian-American cuisine, celebrated for its rich and savory flavor profile. This dish features penne pasta coated in a luscious tomato-based sauce blended with heavy cream, vodka, and often accented with garlic, onions, and red pepper flakes for added depth. Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs like basil are common garnishes. While this indulgent meal delivers comfort food satisfaction, its nutritional profile is worth noting. The dish is a good source of carbohydrates and provides some protein, especially if paired with chicken or shrimp. The tomato sauce offers antioxidants like lycopene, beneficial for heart health. However, the presence of heavy cream, butter, and cheese increases its saturated fat and calorie content, making moderation key. Penne with vodka is perfect for occasional enjoyment as part of a balanced diet.
