I LOVE this penne alla vodka recipe! It has an incredible depth of flavor (especially considering it’s meatless) that is perfectly balanced and restaurant-quality. It reminds me a bit of my tomato soup in that the sauce is not overly-acidic from the tomatoes, but creamy and rich instead. If you’re a fan of my other pasta recipes, like my rigatoni, you’re going to love this one too! This pasta alla vodka recipe doesn’t require much hands-on time but does require 30 minutes of simmering for best flavor. We’re reducing the vodka and cooking off much (if not all) of the alcohol. The vodka isn’t just for show though; it helps give the sauce a creamy, velvety mouthfeel and adds to the depth of flavor. It’s a key component of this recipe.
