Penne Vodka
When I was pregnant with my oldest, there was a lil Italian place near our home that made the BEST vodka sauce I had ever eaten. I have spent 22 years trying to replicate that sauce, and if my family's obsession with this dish is any indication, I not only succeeded, I surpassed it! Hope you enjoy!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil, over medium heat, until soft
- 2
Add prosciutto and cook about 1 minute
- 3
Add vodka, turn UP heat to med-hi, and cook until booze burns out, about 7 minutes
- 4
LOWER heat to medium-low and add crushed tomatoes and paste, stir
- 5
Add pepper, salts, and sugar, stir
- 6
Turn UP heat until boiling (watch!) then lower heat to low. Cook 1 hour, stirring occasionally
- 7
Add cream, half a cup at a time until desired flavor is reached. I usually use just under a full quart
- 8
Let simmer until bubbling, and add any extra salt or pepper desired. Stir. Turn off heat
- 9
Add pasta and serve immediately. This makes enough sauce for about 2 lbs pasta. Enjoy!

Penne alla Siciliana Penne alla Siciliana
My wife had this for dinner at our favorite restaurant and she loved it. I thought that I would surprise her by making it for her. She loved it so much, that I thought that I would share it.Unfortunately, I did not have any Penne when I made it, so I used Farfalle instead. Surprisingly, it was very good and worked well. This is a great vegetarian dish, but you can add meat if you wish.Enjoy!
