I was craving vodka pasta so there you go. I served it with breaded baked chicken (my own recipe), sliced fresh cucumbers and the worlds best yeast rolls. Delish if I must say so myself. It's not your typical weekday meal, but it's so easy it could be.
Breaded Baked Chicken
4 chicken breast
Italian Style Breadcrumbs
Parmesan Cheese
Wishbone Italian Dressing
Pam cooking spray
Slice your chicken in halves to make them thinner. Lay cut pieces in bowl of Italian Dressing. Mix Breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese together, equals parts. Dredge each chicken through the breadcrumb mixture. Lay on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Vodka Pasta with Tomato Sauce
2-3 T butter
1 small onion finely chopped
1 28oz can or (2) 13.5oz cans of petite diced tomatoes
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup vodka
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Chop onion. Saute the onion in the melted butter for 7-8 minutes or until it is translucent. Pour in the tomatoes and cook on low-medium heat for 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Boil your pasta as directed. Measure your cream, pepper flakes and vodka into one measuring cup. Turn the heat back up on the tomatoes and dump the cream mixture in. Bring it to a boil for 2 minutes to cook off the vodka. Serve it over the past and sprinkle with Parmesan.
** I think you could totally omit the vodka and it would be good. However I LOVE vodka pasta. This recipe is orginally from Chris Jordan, she posted it with pictures over at Ordering Disorder. I miss her over there.
The entire family gave the chicken 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Meredith & Josh gave the vodka past a raving review and 2 thumbs up.
Noah hates tomatoes so he only ate a few noodles, however he ate enough chicken to fill him up.
Margot ate it all.
