This Penne All Vodka Made Me Fall in Love with Pasta

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This incredibly easy-to-prepare Penne Alla Vodka is one of the most flavorful kinds of pasta with penne pasta tossed in a tomato-vodka cream sauce. You will be blown away at these delicious this dish is.
Penne alla vodka is a pasta dish featuring penne pasta tossed in a tomato and cream-based sauce with vodka in it. This pasta is the dish that made me fall in love with pasta. Since I was a kid, I only had spaghetti and meatballs to this point. This recipe has a few variations depending on where you are eating it and who is making it. Classically there will be pancetta, onions, and chiles in the sauce.
The origins of this pasta are contested by a couple of different sources who claim they created the dish. First, Orsini restaurant in New York City claims they invented the dish in the 1970s. Second, a Columbia University graduate also said he made it in the 1980s. Then, finally, in Italy, there are two cookbooks written by Italian authors who say they created the vodka sauce. Regardless of where it came from, I can assure you, that you are in for a treat.

    I am so glad as well as impressed that you properly identified the pepper as a Fresno Pepper. So many so-called Chefs call it a Red Jalapeno.

    I too am a fresh pasta snob. In Italy, fresh pasta and dry pasta are two different products and everyone uses both. I only grew up with the dry stuff in a box, so fresh pasta was an epiphany for me and that was all I would eat for the longest time. In this recipe, dry pasta is ideal, as you used, and it looks amazing. 10/10

    Dried pasta is the only way to have al dente pasta that not soft All the way through. Dry is not always worse nor is fresh better. It depends on what you are marking.

    This was so delicious! I used a thick cut bacon, along the olive oil, left a lot of grease. I drained most of it before adding the onions so the sauce wouldn't be too greasy. 1/4 vodka seem to soak up and/or cook down really quick, maybe I need a splash more. I think I might throw in some sun dried tomatos next time. I really enjoy all of your recipes I've tried and appreciate the videos and the education!

    looks great and will be giving it a go. quick question though, when you give the fluid measure in imperial and then give a metric measure, why do you give it in weight vs fluid? ie: gram as opposed to ml (milliliter)?

    It wouldn't really matter, if you check conversions, 240ml of water is 240g of water, and if you don't use water, it's almost exactly the same for other things , even though ML is a volume measurement. (Example, 240ml milk is 234g. Or even something thicker like 240ml of heavy cream is 237g) Much faster and easier to just weight everything in grams.

    I used to think fresh pasta was superior. After watching "Alex the French Guy" pasta series, I learned they are two distinctly different things. Fresh is usually made with Eggs and AP flour. Dried is Semolina and Water.

    I reviewed both those clips, and I have no clue what it is. No one in my family has hair like that and I’ve got a short, dark gray haired dog.. you can’t see it on the white background when I press record and can only see it with a dark background when I’m in front of it. Probably why I missed it or else I would’ve obviously pulled it out. Sorry, can’t catch’em all, I’m not perfect.

    Watch what he does with the "fond," or the protein residue that is stuck to the pan. He adds the vodka to loosen it up and bring it back into the sauce. This is called "deglazing," and allows your sauce to include the fond's flavor instead of losing it.

    Ok… let’s talk about why vodka get involved in a tomato pasta ( a copy of Amatriciana) you put Fresh hot pepper tomato pancetta I mean everything will cover the vodka ,Usually wend we do vodka pasta some smoked fish is part of recepy like salmon and / or caviar in white sauce the vodka will have a reason to be there , don’t get me wrong , surely the recepy is good but because the matriciana is good not because the vodka ………..😂
