I didn't have prepared sauce but home-jarred tomatoes, onions, garlic, and mushrooms with some dried oregano stood in nicely. After simmering I hit the sauce with a blending stick to smooth out the chunks a bit before adding the cream. I used GF linguine made from rice, potato, and soy which worked great. I served it with simply pounded and sauteed turkey cutlets (with more of the sauce, of course.) It was so good I broke my discipline of no seconds and polished off a second portion. Salad for dinner, I guess.

Anyway, I have heard of penne alla vodka, as it's the first dish I learned to cook while living in Rome in the 1980s (the man I bought pancetta from gave me the recipe). Pancetta does come smoked as well as unsmoked, and I definitely prefer it smoked for this dish. The recipe I have also calls for fresh basil scattered over at the end, no rosemary--and a sprinkling of chilli flakes at final seasoning. I was puzzled by the use of water in the sauce--why? Otherwise, though, very nice to be reminded of something I haven't cooked for yonks. I'm now going to check out your chili recipes...<br /><br />BTW, an excellent cooking site by an Umbrian/Sicilian cook/B&B owner near Assisi is http://madonnadelpiatto.com/. It's in English.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!Barbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-9719611520550776022010-11-04T10:24:08.336-04:002010-11-04T10:24:08.336-04:00Yes.

Since I am a university student I couldn't really afford to buy the vodka and there were no small bottles available at the supermarket today. Nevertheless my whole family loved it!<br /><br />I made some changes such as adding 1 bulb of garlic (I'm a garlic freak) and 4 shallots after browning the bacon. I also added a few extra sprigs of rosemary and increased the bacon to 1 pound. I used pork stock instead of water and I used Leggo's bolognese sauce with red wine. I think the red wine helped a little in adding a touch of alcohol to the recipe. In the last 5 minutes I stirred in 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese and this really added to the richness of the sauce. Thanks Chef John, this recipe is definitely for keeps! Looking forward to more delicious recipes!lilian85noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-35189374542712945242010-03-31T11:59:15.131-04:002010-03-31T11:59:15.131-04:00Cheap vodka is OK for this sauce.
