ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL PENNE RUSTICA
The sauce is the key to this recipe....HEAVY CREAM, PARMESAN CHEESE, WINE, etc. with CHICKEN & SHRIMP, cooking the penne pasta is the easy part. This recipe makes an ample amount, and too tricky for me to attempt to scale it down. I am posting it to take advantage of Recipezaar's calculations to reduce a recipe. I'm not sure how much this recipe feeds, but I am going to guess at 8-10 servings.

Tips:
- To get the best flavor, use high-quality vodka. Look for a brand that is made with 100% wheat or rye and has a clean, smooth taste.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of vodka in the sauce to your own taste. If you like a stronger vodka flavor, add more. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
- If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the noodles from becoming dry and overcooked.
- Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
