This pasta is absolutely delicious! Like I read in other reviews, I used 1/2 pint of the heavy cream and around 3/4 lb. of pasta. SO good!!

This was awesome. My kids don't like spaghetti (w/e!) but they really loved this meal and it tasted like restaurant quality to me, but it was SO simple! I did double the garlic in it though!! Yummmm!

Used more vodka 2/3 cup and less half and half (trying to make it more figure friendly) about 1/4 cup. I may use a little more half and half next time. I really like this sauce. My 2 1/2 year old was eating his pasta plain with cheese and asked for me to put sauce on his! It must have smelled good to him too!

Did as others recommended and put in 3/4s of a pint of heavy cream. Also, by the time the dish was finished... I ended up putting about 1 tsp of salt and about 1/4 tsp of pepper. Very delicious and everyone loved it!

A very nice and easy recipe. I added 4 oz of cooked pancetta and some red pepper flakes to spice things up a little.

If you want thicker sauce, you need to let it sit off the stove for 10-15 minutes. Then, reheat prior to serving. I also added only 3/4 pint of heavy cream and I think only 1/2 would have been fine too. Finally, I found that the sauce was too sour for my taste so I added some sugar. It tasted great after that.

We add 1/2 jar of sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and thinly sliced, and a dash of crushed red pepper flakes once the cream is added. We also add 1 pound of peeled, raw shrimp in the last three to five minutes of cooking time. Also, do not add the basil until the end, unless you like wilted strings in your sauce.

This is really good and easy to make. I used non-fat plain yogurt, instead of cream, to cut calories. That made it probably more tangy than it would have been. Maybe half yogurt and half cream or possibly 2/3 yogurt, 1/3 cream would make it smoother. With some homemade soft bread sticks and salad, this is a delicious meal.

I usually don't cook with salt. When I don't cook with salt, my dishes come out tasting great with out it. So when I made this dish, I didn't mix in the salt and I didn't like the flavor at all. The flavor was awful. But then I decided to add a little salt to it and it tasted better. So if you don't like cooking with salt, this dish is not for you. Otherwise, with the salt its ok.

The sauce was awesome. I did end up using less cream then the recipe called for and it turned out glorious. Only giving 4 stars because I did mod the recipe.

This is amazing if you mix it together with the penne and let it all cook together at the end for an extra 10 minutes. The sauce thickens and the flavor really comes out. I also used half the amount of cream and about 3/4 lb of pasta.
