The first time I had Penne Vodka was in Las Vegas 5 years ago. I loved it! Ever since then, I have tried numerous recipes to try to match the flavor of the first one I had. I had never been able to find one as good...until now. This was an amazing recipe....sooo good. I only made a few substitutions. I used bacon instead of ham, and I used 4 cheese tomato sauce instead of plain. I didn't have fresh parsley, so I just substituted a little dried. I also didn't simmer it quite as long as it said. I cut the recipe in half for me and my fiance and there is still a ton of leftovers. It still turned out perfect! You won't regret trying this recipe.

I have tried a few Penne Vodka recipes but this is the best I have found so far. Very rich and savory. Also simple to make.

I am now a fan of vodka sauce. Served it with slightly toasted pannella bread and a nice chardonnay. Sauce had a creamy sweetness with proccuitto flavor, I didn't taste any vodka so I must have made it right. I bought a jar of Rao's sauce the kids said mine was the best ever. I guess nothing beats making it that day, now I'll have to eat it at Rao's next.

This was amazing! The cream reduction is the "it" factor in this recipe. I used the leftovers on my canadian bacon and mushroom grilled pizza...and it vanished. It's a great sauce that can be added to almost ANYTHING! I always add garlic, it can't hurt. I did also halved the recipe and used a touch less heavy cream than called for.

I have tried many alla vodka sauces at different restaurants and this exceeds all of them! My fiance is always saying how "Italian food in America is NOT Italian" and he raved about it and wants me to make it for his family in Italy next week :- It took me around 2 hours to get the sauce at the consistency that I preferred. Definitely worth it!!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!!!

Use the De Cecco penne as recommended if you can. It is well worth the extra $2 a box. The texture of their pasta is fantastic :-

Ciao e buona fortuna

This was absolutely delicious. I've tried several different recipes for a la vodka and this by far was the best. I used thick-cut prosciutto and the only change I made was to add a couple of cloves of fresh garlic. I halved the recipe and it was plenty...seriously, make this. Now.

I am glad I read the comments below to reduce the heavy cream in a separate pot while prepping the rest of the recipe. Because I did that, the recipe took less time and was excellent! I would compare to a great Italian restaurant recipe. I used Proscuitto because I couldn't find "Italian cooked ham"....I'm wondering if there is another name for it. The Proscuitto worked out great. I would DEF recommend and I'm even planning on serving this to my cousins who eat in all the NY Italian restaurants every day!

This was so good. We are not a big left overs family, but these got eaten up right away.

I love Penne alla Vodka and I've been searching for the perfect recipe and here it is! I think that the key is to add the vodka at the end. I just love it! I could eat it everyday!
