RECIPE: Penne Alla Vodka—With Tomato Vodka!

Three Olives Tomato Vodka: Not just for
Bloody Marys!

Penne alla vodka is a very popular dish. Who can resist that creamy tomato sauce with a touch of vodka?

Three Olives Vodka makes it even better with its Tomato Vodka. Serve shots of vodka along with the pasta—and of course, in a Bloody Mary before dinner!

PENNE ALLA VODKA DELUXE

Ingredients
• 1 pound penne (we prefer penne rigate [PEN-nay rih-GAH-tay], the ridged variety, since sauce clings better to ridged pasta)
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 chopped tomato
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 to 1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper, depending on your heat preference
• 1/2 cup Three Olives Tomato Vodka
• 1/4 cup canned tomato purée (look for San Marzano—the best canned tomatoes!)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley (flat leaf)
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• Salt to taste

Preparation
1. In an 8-quart pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare penne according to package directions.

2. Simmer olive oil in a large skillet over moderately low heat. Add tomato, onion and crushed pepper and simmer for about 3 minutes. Stir in vodka and bring to a lively simmer for about 5 minutes.

3. Add tomato purée and heavy cream and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in cheese until melted. Add parsley, salt and pepper. Cover and keep sauce warm over very low heat until pasta is ready.
