Creamy vodka pasta – very easy to make, full of flavour and simply delicious. Serve it on its own or alongside a piece of pan-fried chicken, or make it with bite-sized pieces of chicken – find the recipe for vodka pasta with chicken here.
Penne alla vodka is an American-Italian pasta dish, and many people wonder why there is vodka in a pasta dish at all.
And why vodka in the sauce? Well, this is a classic vodka pasta, so there is no getting around the vodka. But the vodka is also said to do what any alcohol does: it makes the sauce smoother and creamier, while bringing out the aromas in the sauce.
Remember that the alcohol cooks off during cooking, so you can happily serve it to the children too – and you cannot taste the vodka at all.

Indtil videre den bedste opskrift på Vodkapasta jeg har prøvet
Hej Julie
Hold k*** hvor er du sød – TUSIND TAK:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Virkelig skøn og enkel pastaret.
Dianna, du kan virkelig dine pastaretter så ingen overraskelse, at den her også er super lækker. (Også “bare” med madlavningsfløde som jeg brugte)
Hej Dianna
Den glæder jeg mig til at lave!
Jeg vil dog høre, om det er muligt at bruge hvid Rom i stedet for vodka?
Hej Marie
Dejligt at høre – tak 🙂
Jeg tror måske der er for meget smag i rommen, men har ikke prøvet 😉
Vodka er jo mere smagsneutral i smagen 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hej Diana
Kan man lave saucen dagen i forvejen, så den står og trækker smag natten over? 🙂
Hej Maja
Ja det kan du sagtens gøre:)
Juster konsistensen med pastavand inden servering:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Hvornår skal osten mon i?
Hej Laila
Det er opdateret i opskriften, – det skal i imens pastaen koger 🙂
Tak for at gøre opmærksom på manglen.
Dbh Dianna
Hvor var den her opskrift bare helt igennem GOD! Tak for den!
Hej Anne Sofie
Åhh det er jeg SÅ glad for at høre, – tusind tak:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
