HIGHLY RATED PENNE ALLA VODKA
This recipe was taken from America's Test Kitchen's Best-Ever Recipes with slight modifications. It has become a family favorite and is easy to make. I suggest using Smirnoff Vodka and whole tomatoes without any additional seasonings to avoid unnecessary sugar/salt. For those of you with allergies, I personally use lactose-free whipping cream and Tru Roots ancient grains penne to make it lactose-free and gluten-free. Baked chicken is a great addition to complete the meal!

PENNE ALLA VODKA
It is suggested when you make this recipe that you use a premium vodka as a less expensive brand will give a harsh taste. To allow your pasta and sauce to finish cooking at the same time, add your pasta to the boiling water directly after adding the vodka to the sauce. This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated Nov/Dec 2006
