Pennette alla Vodka

Pennette alla Vodka

Everybody seems to have a different recipe for this dish. This is the one that I use.

Ingredients:

1 lb. pasta (Pennette)
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. ketchup
2 shots of Vodka
1/8 tsp. ground red hot pepper


Instructions:

1. In a skillet at medium heat add the vodka and red hot pepper. Light the vodka with a match. (Be careful!)
2. In the mean time prepare the pasta as directed.
3. Once the vodka burns out add the milk, heavy cream and ketchup.
4. Simmer until it thickens, about 15 minutes. Then add 1/4 cup parmesan.
5. When the pasta is cooked strain it and add it to the cream, mix well, add the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and serve it hot.


Notes:

Be really careful when you light the vodka. I wouldn't want you to burnyourself or burn your house down.
