Penne Rigate in Vodka Sauce

Cultural Context

Penne alla Vodka originated in Italy in the 1980s, combining the richness of cream with the sharpness of vodka to create a delightful sauce. Traditionally served in Italian households, it has become a staple in Italian-American cuisine, celebrated for its creamy texture and vibrant flavor. Today, variations abound globally, with some adding proteins like chicken or shrimp, while others experiment with different pasta shapes.
