Chicken Penne Ala Vodka Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions.
• Saute the garlic and onions in 2 tablespoons butter and the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until soft. Pour in the vodka, being careful if your stove has an open flame (remove the pan from the heat before adding). Cook and reduce for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour in the tomato puree. Stir the mixture until it's thoroughly combined, then reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, then turn heat to the lowest simmer possible. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and add salt and pepper to taste. Finally, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour the drained pasta into the sauce and toss to combine. Sprinkle on the Parmesan, then sprinkle on more red pepper flakes if desired.

Steps:

• First cook chicken as above in large heavy pan in corn oil. Remove from pan and place on paper towels. Reserve corn oil and use same pan, adding diced shallots first cooking at medium heat until golden, then diced red pepper cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add coarsely diced mushrooms and cook until softened. Add 1 1/2 TBSp flour and the butter and cook stirring constantly until lightly browned. Add milk until sauce is moderately thick cooking over medium heat. Add plentiful ground pepper and salt to taste and thin with 1/4 cup or so vodka and then serve over hot penne cooked al dente.
