Pearl Onions & Vodka Cream Sauce With Penne
By: NcMysteryShopper
Jan 13, 2006
I found this delicious recipe on a bag of pearled onions. It is fabulously rich and easy and a total crowd pleaser! I added about 3/4 of a cup of chopped cooked ham to the recipe (along with the cream) with fantastic results. I plan on trying it with left over grilled chicken as well.
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 lb penne
- 10 ounces white pearl onions, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (more or less, to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes, to taste or 4 drops Tabasco sauce, to taste
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 16 ounces chopped tomatoes (preferably organic)
- 1 cup cream (or half and half)
- salt
- ground pepper
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3/4 of a cup of chopped cooked ham (optional)
Directions
1
Cook dry penne in a large pot until al dente.2
Halve onions and sauté in olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes over medium heat. When onions are translucent, add vodka and cook over moderately-high heat for 4 minutes.3
Add tomatoes and cook to reduce liquid about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add cream. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, then mix in cooked penne.4
Sprinkle Parmesan over top and serve immediately.

This was a nice pasta dish. DH and I had it for lunch awhile back. We used the cooked ham option. I thought it was pretty easy to make. Next time, I might omit the ham (personal preference). While this recipe is good, I prefer one of my friends', which is similar and uses cilantro, which gives the dish a more flavorful taste. Thank you for posting, we enjoyed this.

Holy cow are these onions yummy and so is the whole dish! We made it with the ham and fat free cream and only about 3/4 lb of penne since we like lots of sauce. Highly recommended!

Very nice pasta dish! I used fusilli pasta, half and half and a large chopped sweet onion. I really wanted to use pearl onions but couldn't find any after looking at 3 stores! I used the pepper flakes option and skipped the ham although I can see how it would taste good in this. This turned out very zippy from the vodka infused onions and chile flakes. It wasn't saucy enough for me but it was still great!

AWESOME. OMG, this was sooo good and I couldn't even find pearl onions at the market this week, so just chopped up regular yellow onions. I ended up using only 3/4cup of the cream which was plenty and if you wanted you could even reduce further and not loose anything. I did includ leftover ham. Simply fabulous.
