Penne with Vodka Sauce

 Jim P says:
As a variation to this recipe I used 1/2 cup Vodka instead of 2/3 cup (wife's choice), 1 tsp. of garlic salt and added 1 1/2 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce -- it really adds to the flavor! I chose not to use prosciutto (only since I didn't have any at home) and definitely added the black olives and it tasted awesome. Love the recipe!

I agree with Jim... the spaghetti sauce adds that extra yum factor! This recipe is amazing. I am making it right now and have made it previously. I am making extra sauce this time and usually less than a box of noodles. Five stars!!!

My girlfriend and I always rave about this ala vodka sauce from our favorite restaurant, thus, the delicious sauce. I started researching recipes and came across this one. I thought maybe I can try and make the sauce just like the one from our favorite restaurant. The sauce turned out great. I added crushed tomatoes, no olives and no prosciutto.
