This is a fool-proof version of penne alla vodka. Rachael Ray jokes that this is a "you won't be single for long" type of recipe. Enjoy!

1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 - shallots, minced
1 cup vodka
1 cup chicken stock

How To Make penne alla vodka

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, butter, garlic and shallots. Gently saute for about 3-5 minutes. Add the vodka in a steady stream (temporarily take the pot off the heat source while you add the vodka - then replace). Reduce vodka by half, 2-3 minutes. Add chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the pasta in the salted, boiling water until al dente (according to your package directions).
Step 3

Stir cream into the vodka sauce. When the sauce returns to a bubble, remove it from the heat. Drain pasta. Toss the hot pasta with sauce and basil leaves. Serve immediately along with the crusty bread and enjoy!
