Pasta alla vodka

I have a bottle of Russian vodka which my hubby bought in Changi Airport for my vanilla pods. It has been sitting in the store for years. Surf the net to look for any recipe that can cook with vodka and found this recipe Penne alla Vodka. Surprisingly this dish becomes my son’s favourite meal which I prepared during his O level exams.
