Cooking for two is hard! We try to eat healthy, but we are rarely together for meals and we don't like a lot of the same things. I try buying veggies I like (zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, onions), but since Gabe doesn't eat them, I have a hard time eating them before they go bad. I end up throwing out fresh fruit and veggies and it feels so wasteful! We haven't really come up with a solution yet other than just keeping trying. So we try...but occasionally, we like to indulge. And our favorite indulgence is penne alla vodka. I tried to "healthy it up" by using whole wheat pasta and fat free half and half instead of heavy cream, but it just wasn't the same. So here it is in all it's unhealthy glory.
You'll Need:
- 1 lb box penne
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup vodka
- 1-1/2 cups pasta sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
To Prepare:
Melt butter in a saucepan. When butter turns frothy, add vodka. Evaporate the vodka then add in the cream and pasta sauce. Tada! Add in pasta and you are finished. Sprinkle some cheese on top if you like!
P.S. I was going to take a picture, but then I ate it instead....oops!
