Vodka Blush Penne (& Smoked Salmon) image

This is scrumptious. I love it w/ smoked salmon flaked & added to it. My son likes it without, so it is your choice. Your kitchen will smell lovely cooking this dish!

I would not recommend this recipe. The sauce was too heavy and the salmon was overcooked. I was very disappointed.

This dish was a waste of time and money. The sauce was flavorless and the salmon was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish turned out terrible. The sauce was curdled and the salmon was rubbery. I would not make this again.
