About Penne with vodka sauce

Penne with Vodka Sauce is a classic Italian-American pasta dish known for its creamy and tangy flavor profile. The sauce is a rich blend of crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, vodka, garlic, onion, and a touch of olive oil, often seasoned with red pepper flakes, basil, or parsley for added depth. The vodka enhances the sauce by binding the creamy and acidic elements, creating a silky consistency. Typically served over al dente penne pasta, its tube-like shape helps hold the sauce for a satisfying bite. While it provides carbohydrates for energy and lycopene from tomatoes, it can be calorie-dense due to the heavy cream and olive oil. Healthier variations may use whole-grain pasta or reduced-fat cream. Enjoyed in moderation, Penne with Vodka Sauce brings comfort and indulgence to the table, offering a taste of Italian-inspired cuisine.
