Penne with Vodka Cream Sauce by Fabio

Here is a tasty pasta recipe.  Fabio, with his guest chef, Lou Diamond Philips, shows us how to make penne pasta with a vodka cream sauce.  The added flavor of the vodka is an interesting approach to kicking up a basic marina meal.

This recipe includes cream and parmesan cheese as a garnish at the end.  It is a makeover candidate by replacing the dairy cream and parmesan cheese with non dairy substitutes. The pasta choice should be whole wheat penne.  And, the onions can be steam fried instead of sauteed with butter.

With these makeover variations, this low fat, vegetarian recipe would certainly conform to our healthy nutrition guidelines.

Enjoy!
