Kevin’s Chicken Penne Alla Vodka with Cauliflower Pasta

Looking on the road for food isn’t always easy, but not having anything in the truck can be Hair-Wrenching.

According to Healthline.com, Pasta isn’t everything it is cracked up to be. There are refined pasta and there are Whole Grain Pasta. Most pasta meals are generally made with “refined pasta.” In this case, could increase your risk of heart disease.

That is why My Choice would be above, since it is using Cauliflower instead of pasta.

If you would like to enjoy pasta, I suggest doing it in moderation.

This dish looks delish…and easy to cook. It is microwave ready and is easy to track. It is also a great start in the health track.

The Origins of Vodka Sauce

This is what PAESANA had to say,

“Like most Italian recipes and sauces, there’s a measure of debate as to where and when it was first established. Unsurprisingly, the two places that lay claim to the invention of vodka sauce are New York City and Italy. We’ll start stateside, with Orsini Restaurant in New York, where it is believed that Chef Luigi Franzese invented, specifically, penne alla vodka, in the 1970s. The second New York-based claim comes from food historians, who posit that the dish was actually invented by James Doty, a Columbia University graduate, who created the dish in the 1980s.

As for the Italian origin of the sauce, two separate stories deliver different sides as to who first concocted the creamy sauce in the old world in the 1970s. First, in The Ultimate Pasta Cookbook, author Pasquale Bruno Jr. says vodka sauce was first conjured at a restaurant called Dante in Bologna. But, yet another cookbook, Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Italian, says it was created by a Roman chef who worked for a vodka company and wanted to popularize the spirit in the country.

Either way, at least one author, Barbara Kafka, who wrote Food for Friends, says that vodka sauce was definitely established in Italy way before it gained a following in America.”
