Penne Alla Vodka

I first tasted penne alla vodka in a little Italian restaurant in my home town. I absolutely loved it. Now I prepare my own penne alla vodka. The vodka and the bacon enhances the flavor and gives out a tastier taste to this beautiful pink, creamy sauce. Just add plenty of parmesan cheese and eat it away. Yummmy!!!
