#LidiasClassics – As simple a dish as this is, I have had requests for it in all my restaurants as far back as I can remember. I like the sauce a little feisty, so I’m generous with the crushed red pepper. You can add as much—or as little—as you like.
Often, restaurant chefs finish this dish by swirling butter into the sauce at the end. You can do the same or use olive oil to finish the sauce. I prefer olive oil, but I probably don’t have to tell you that by now.

  1. Normally for “Penne alla Vodka”, it is also used to put some Pancetta to brown in the pan.

  2. Just love Lidia! We find that cooking & reducing the vodka b4 adding the 🍅 adds some natural sweetness & a hint of something similar to allspice ❤❤

  3. Pasta dishes are among the most delicious dishes, especially what Chef Lydia offers. Thank you with love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  4. So great, from the experts! I had my first Penne Vodka in Italy in the late 80-s to early 90's. It always had smaller-sized shrimp in it. So to this date, I always toss in some shrimp scampi into my penne vodka and it's great! )also some guancale bits if you want to go over the top, lol!) Thanks for the recipie!

  5. I have always heard that tomato's have alcohol soluble flavor compounds that you wouldn't taste without some wine or vodka in the sauce
