How to Make Penne With Vodka Cream And Smoked Salmon

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil (if using) in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the marinara sauce, dill, and vodka. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  3. Add the smoked salmon, peas, and heavy cream to the sauce. Stir gently and heat through for about 3-5 minutes, until the salmon is heated and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
