This is a real real good pasta. It is excellent and tasty. I would recomend this to everybody! I think you should add to the directions that you should only add the sauce to the pasta right before serving so the texture remains good.

This Penne alla Vodka is outstanding. I used homemade tomato sauce, and the 13 cloves of garlic required. I have made this many times and it never disappoints. Tonight I added shrimp to the sauce. I don't understand the people who are giving it 2 stars perhaps they are using minced jarred garlic instead of fresh or a less superior tomato sauce. It is very important to light the vodka on fire once added and to reduce the cream (I used half heavy cream and half half and half because I did not have enough heavy cream. This is not bland at all and better then restaurants.
