I thought I would share this again with my new updates. This dish is a huge hit with my girls and my husband loves the changes that I made.
INGREDIENTS
3 to 4 oz of pancetta (slices)

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup vodka

1. Cook your pasta according to the package. You want to cook it until it is al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cut your pancetta slices into 1/2 inch pieces. Just roughly estimate the size. Brown your pancetta.
4. Add your canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Add your vodka and whipping cream and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat to low, add in your pasta, toss and let it all come together. About 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper (I always add on lots of pepper).
7. Season with red pepper flakes if you haven't added them in already (for those who like spicy food). Enjoy!
Yummy. I love both recipes. Looks and sounds so flavorful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Penne alla vodka - in fact when I studied abroad in Rome, there was a small place next to my apt and I ate it at least twice a week and it was so fresh and delicious! xo, Biana BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That is amazing. I never knew that you studied abroad. So cool.
DeleteMmmmm!!! I love this dish, but have never made it myself! I’m so glad you shared this recipe!
ReplyDeleteOh it is a great dish to make. I hope you enjoy!
DeleteI love red pepper flakes on pasta! This looks so good.
ReplyDeleteMe too. They give it a good kick!
DeleteOh yum, I love penne alla vodka but I've never tried to make it myself. I think our kids would love this! I'd have to add the red pepper flakes later, too, though, because they won't touch it if its spicy.
ReplyDeleteMy girls love it, but I definitely would add the red pepper flakes at the end. Even if you use just a little bit for you guys.
DeleteYUM! I love Penne Alla Vodka. I often add ham and mushrooms as well.
ReplyDeleteOh I never thought to add ham. I want to add peas to it too.
DeleteOh my goodness, Danielle, this sounds AMAZING!!! Pasta is my weakness!!
ReplyDeleteIt is my weakness too. And I LOVE this version!

DeleteThis is one of our favorite dishes, but we've never tried it with pancetta! What a great twist! Thanks for sharing - we'll have to try it!

DeleteMy mouth is watering - this looks so good! I attempted a vodka sauce awhile ago and it was TERRIBLE, haha. I definitely need to try this one though - looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI have had some pretty bad ones too. And every time I order it in a restaurant, I am always sooo disappointed. This is a good one!
