Fabulous Penne a La Vodka, “This is the best Penne a la Vodka I have ever had! I cannot even order it in restaurants anymore, since it will never stand up to this fantastic recipe!”, This was restaurant quality for sure! Made as written except only sautéed mushrooms in 2 T of butter, and used only 2 C of whip cream, we didn’t miss the extra fat a bit! Tasted so rich and flavorful. I hadn’t had vodka in pasta before and the alcohol flavor completely cooked off. Thank you, we will be making this again., This recipe is awesome! I added chicken to my penne a la vodka and it came out Absolutely delicious! My hubby felt like we were eating restaurant grade pasta! DELICIOUS!
