Mario Batali's Penne alla Vodka Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by 1buttons

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices bacon
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 can tomato paste
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pound penne
1 piece Parmigiano Reggiano, for grating

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne 1 minute short of the package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water for sauce. In a large sauté pan, cook bacon over medium heat to render out fat. Cook for about 10 minutes until cooked but not too crispy. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste darkens. Stir in the vodka and cook for a few minutes to meld the flavors. Add cream and season with nutmeg and salt to taste. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water bit by bit until desired thickness is reached (you may not need the whole cup). Add cooked penne and toss to coat. Serve with a generous sprinkling of Parmigiano Reggiano.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less cream in the sauce.

The penne noodles were overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a minute or two less.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to spice it up.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less crushed red pepper flakes.

I love the addition of pancetta in this dish. It gives the sauce a nice smoky flavor.

This is the best penne alla vodka I've ever had! The sauce is creamy, flavorful, and the perfect amount of spicy. I also love the addition of pancetta, which gives the dish a nice smoky flavor.
