I recently made this for my family and they LOVED it! Not once person had a single noodle left on their plate including myself. I served it with fresh french bread, slathered it with garlic butter and toasted it in the oven. This meal was delicious! Thank you Laura!

I followed your recipe exactly and it was absolutely delicious! The penne tasted better than anything I have ever eaten at a restaurant! I cooked this dish for a family bbq and it was the best meal!! My family kept adding more and more to their plates, even the kids couldn't get enough! I cooked the sauce a few hours earlier and let it simmer, and wow.. that really made a huge difference for all the flavors to settle. I cooked the pasta right before serving and reheated the sauce! BEST RECIPE EVER !! Thank you!

I made this for dinner last night. This is the 3rd time I have made it. We love this recipe so much. Thanks Laura!

can't wait to try this! love the way you explain things!

I cooked this recipe for me and my parents for dinner tonight, and we all loved it! It was so delicious, and they both said that the vodka made it super special! Thanks so much :) Greetings from Germany

I didn't have any heavy cream so I used cream cheese instead and it was delicious! It gives off the same texture with extra flavor! it's a very good alternative, you should give it a try you would love it!

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I tried it this evening and it was delicious!

You are absolutely amazing!!!!! I am a newlywed and non-cooker. Im only able to make a few things and Ive been making them over and over again. But thanks to you and your simple simple recipes I was able to surprise my husband with an awesome Penne Vodka dish. Thanks so much for helping me to learn how to cook!!!!

I just made this and it's delicious!!!! Thank you so much!!!

I made this tonight. It was so easy and so good! Thank You !

Why do people wanna substitute the vodka, that's the second most important ingredient next to the tomatoes. It won't have the alcohol flavor because its cooked off but what it does is enhance the tomato flavor which only alcohol can do.

Thank you so much for sharing your family recipe! I love this dish but I would love to be able to make it myself; definitely going to try this :)

I made this today and it turned out good. The sauce turned out to have a lemony flavor that I wasn’t expecting but still good.

Thank you for this authentic and restaurant-quality recipe! It went down a treat with the family. The recipe had perfect measurement. P.s you and your videos are a joy to watch! So glad I discovered you

I made this today without the vodka and i used tortelinni with cheese and i absolutely loved it!

That looks soo delicious

absolutely perfect with an Italian sausage!

I made it, It ROCKS, ..................thanks

Laura, I made this today and it was outstanding! I compared you're recipe to the one on Oprah's where they used more vodka and cream and didn't cook as long and used chicken stock. I made your's exactly as stated and used the cooking times and it was the greatest thing I've tasted in a while and yes I bought the $15 imported cheese makes the difference & good vodka, grey goose Thank you so much for sharing-really appreciate it

She's just so adorable

Thank you for sharing these great recipes with us. I want to make this one! It looks so good and i can almost smell it. =)

I made this for dinner along with the vanilla cupcakes and raspberry frosting for dessert! My family loved the dish! I will for sure not have leftovers.

Laura i want THANK U sooo much cause i just made this and it was so delicious :D

Ahh, I've had this in a restaurant once! It was really, very delicious and this looks exactly like it (though by now I trust you and recipes to be delicious always :) ). I'm definitely going to try this out; or make my parents try it out, haha. I can't wait, I can almost smell it from behind my screen!

I encourage EVERYONE to make this! It was fast and easy. It tasted great as leftovers the next day.Even if you don't have the cream, the plain tomato sauce is so yummy with some crunchy bread.

omg I make this for dinner to see how good it would be and every one in my family loved it including myself. everybody make this(sooooooo good)

Just made this for my husband as part of his birthday dinner and it was delicious! Just the right level of flavor; this will make anyone happy! My husband said it reminded him of a similar pasta dish he ordered in Rome during our honeymoon, so that can't be bad!:D

Just made it today..YUM! :)

Thanks!

Perfect

When it comes to cheese, you are so right! There's nothing like cheese from the block. I've always hated pre-packaged cheeses. Love your videos.

Now I'm craving that

Just made this it came out delicious I substituted cream cheese for the heavy cream and gin for the vodka and I didn’t have any penne but I used spaghetti No basil but I used parsley instead my family loved it

i love this so much and i also love it with bacon some people say its gross but maybe you can try it !!

I didn't use any cheese and basil and it was still delicious. My friends loved it too.

Oh yeah...looks good!!!!

Hi Laura.....me and my boyfriend is making this right now.....so excited.....

mouth watering....

Tried this today and it was so delicious. I tried this and the Bon Apetit version. This one blew the bon apetit out of the water!

thanks!

This is absolutely delicious! I was fortunate to find Contadina crushed tomatoes and it made a big difference as other brands tend to be too tangy, I'm sure there are many good brands- but is hard to find them in my area. Lesson learned, will spend a few extra cents for the quality.

Hi Laura. Love your recipes. Could you maybe do a video on how to make pfeffernusse cookies.

one of the best pasta dishes i've ever tasted! so rich,so fantastic...i was scared that will i get tipsy with this ,coz i normally don't drink,but i didn't get tipsy so safe to eat ! :D

I don't know if its me but I love this pasta

im watching this while being super duper hungry i cant wait to try it out but its like 8 am here... so it'll have to wait

Loved that I have found you!!!! automatic sub!

@LauraVitalesKitchen Thank you for your reply. I found it when I used a windows computer. I personally have a mac and still cannot see the recipe even though I cleared my history. Can't wait to try this recipe tonight!

A family friend makes this and puts bacon in it, its so rich and heavenly!

Yes, I was thinking the same thing too because at my super market all I can find is the 'heavy whipping cream'... I just use that and it works! Hope I helped! :)

this recipe has been in my irish side of the family's generations for over 200 years...we usually mix the pasta as wel

Sei bellissima e anche sai cucinare bene !! Saluti da Port Chester, New York !!

made this for dinner today…it was a hit…I used 1/2 cup water instead of vodka for us it was yummmmyyy! Will be making this again.

Awesome! That looks SO good, thanks for sharing! :)

yes

Yummy 😋

You are impressive and i enjoy the videos:) Thanks so much for this nice penne vodka! I made your chicken cutlets with thyme and prosciutto and reggiano... Delicious:)) I didnt have the nice arugala, but made do with romaine! Thanks!

They're really good with cognac too ;)
