My Best Italian Penne alla Vodka | How Tasty Channel

Penne alla Vodka is a pasta dish very popular in Italy in the 80's. The main ingredients for Vodka Sauce are tomatoes, cream and Vodka but it was pretty popular the addition of Pancetta or smoked salmon.
This recipe is very unconventional because cream is not used in traditional italian pasta dishes, above all it's never used with tomatoes! For this reason Vodka is needful to emulsify the cream with tomatoes.
Now the recipe is still pretty popular in the United States and became an icon of the italian-american cuisine.

► SMOKED SALMON SUBSTITUTIONS: You can just skip it, or you can substitute it with Pancetta or Bacon. I've used Smoked Salmon because I think is the best match for this sauce (it was the most popular version in the 80's) and for embrace the international spirit of this recipe.

Penne Vodka

This video recipe shows you how to make a delicious pasta dish using smoked salmon, cream and caviar. It also demonstrates how to make it flambe which gives the dish a better flavour once the alcohol burns out.

Full written recipe is found here:

Ingredients - serves 2

300g penne pasta (between 120g-150g per portion and between 50g-80g per portion)
120g smoked salmon
150ml double cream
100ml vodka (substitute with white grape juice for non alcoholic, but it won't flambe)
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
dash of oil
salt and black pepper
20g caviar (optional)

Equipment

large frying pan
medium sized pot
colander
2 containers, 1 for peelings and one for vegetables
serving spoon
2 wooden spoons
2 chopping boards

Method

Prepare a medium sized pot full of water and turn it on a high heat. Add some oil and salt and leave it covered so we bring it to the boil quicker. Once it's boiling, add the pasta and cover again the pot immediately. Give it a stir half way through cooking. For cooking guidelines always read the instructions on the packet.
 

 
Prepare a large frying pan on a medium to high heat and add some oil.
Start slicing the salmon into long strips and put it in a container on the side for now. Change your chopping board and wash the knife properly.
 

 
Add the onion, garlic and salmon to the hot frying pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Give it a stir.
 

 

Add vodka to the pan and to make it flambe,  tilt the pan slightly forward so the alcohol touches the burner and fires up the pan. Watch it on video from 7:12 for a better explanation. Please be very careful if you are trying to do this and make sure you feel confident enough! Let it reduce by ¾ and let the flames go out by themselves, that’s the alcohol burning out and giving flavour to the dish.
 

 
Once the vodka is reduced, add the double cream and give all a gentle stir.

Check that the pasta is cooked to your liking. For a nice al dente bite, it should only take about 5 minutes to be cooked. Drain the pasta and add some oil to it so it won't stick together.

Add the pasta to the sauce and season lightly.

 

 
As an option you can garnish with caviar which gives the whole dish an additional texture and a very tasty palate.
