History

The origins of Penne alla Vodka are not clear. Some sources suggest that it was created in Italy in the 1980s, while others believe it was invented in the United States by Italian immigrants. Despite its unclear origins, the dish has gained popularity worldwide and is now a staple in many Italian and Italian-American restaurants.

Preparation

The preparation of Penne alla Vodka involves cooking penne pasta and preparing a vodka sauce. The sauce is typically made by sautéing onions in a pan, adding vodka, and allowing it to reduce. Tomato sauce and cream are then added to create a rich, creamy sauce. The cooked penne is then added to the sauce and tossed until it is fully coated. The dish is often garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Variations

There are many variations of Penne alla Vodka. Some recipes include prosciutto or pancetta, while others add chili flakes for a spicy kick. Vegetarian versions of the dish may substitute the cream with a non-dairy alternative and omit any meat ingredients.
