I love pasta, and I love when I can have a homemade meal that can be on the table in about 15 minutes. I love to cook, but now that I am pregnant, I hate standing in the kitchen for hours making a tasty meal. So this recipe is one of my favorites (pregnant or not) and takes no time at all.
For those people that need a quick meal on the table, that you and your family will devour, this is the recipe for you. I love Penne alla Vodka. It is one of my fave’s to order at an Italian restaurant. Since I have been pregnant, I have really been craving this dish, but many nights, I am too tired to go out, and I don’t want to use vodka. I know that the alcohol burns off, but I can’t stand the smell of hard liquor since I have been pregnant. So I set out to put together a recipe that will cure my craving, and simple to put together. This recipe, I promise you, will not disappoint.
The main part of this simple recipe is finding a good jar of marinara sauce. I have used other brands before, but this is the first time I used Mezzetta Napa Valley marinara sauce. This sauce is the most fresh tasting I have ever had. The ingredients are pure without any added preservatives or high fructose corn syrup.
