History[edit | edit source]

Despite its unclear origins, the dish has gained popularity worldwide and is now a staple in many Italian and Italian-American restaurants.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of Penne alla Vodka involves cooking penne pasta and preparing a vodka sauce. The sauce is typically made by sautéing onions in a pan, adding vodka, and allowing it to reduce. Tomato sauce and cream are then added to create a rich, creamy sauce. The cooked penne is then added to the sauce and tossed until it is fully coated. The dish is often garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
