Vodka Rustica a.k.a. yummy in my tummy




  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. garlic
  • 3 Tbsp. wine ( i used what i had, no need to go buy something new for one recipe)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp. chicken bullion
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp. dijon
  • 2 tsp. minced rosemary plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. minced thyme
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne
  • 1 box penne


Melt 3 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sweat it for about 5 minutes. Be sure the garlic doesn't brown. Add the wine and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and whisk until smooth. Bring mixture to a simmer and keep it there for 10 minutes or until it's thick. Cover sauce and remove from heat.
Cook the penne 7-9 minutes in boiling water. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Use a 9 inch glass pie plate.  Load the pasta, sauce and chicken into your dish, top with remaining cheese.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tops begin to brown. Top with rosemary.
