Penne Vodka
I should start this post off by saying that I don’t use vodka in this recipe. You can! Just a 1/4 cup will do. It’ll cook off and you won’t taste it. I just don’t use it because I don’t drink and I never have vodka at my house. It’s always just as good without it, but do whatever makes you happiest! Ingredients: 6 slices of bacon, choppedhalf an onion, chopped1 large garlic clove, chopped1 tablespoon of olive oil2/3 cup of tomato pastered pepper flakes, to tastesalt and pepper, to taste1 1/2 cups of heavy cream1 cup of parmesan cheese1 tablespoon of butter1/2 pound of rigatoni (any noodle works) noodlesItalian…
