Why Some Chefs Use Vodka When Making Pasta: This Will Surprise Anyone
It will come as no surprise that professional chefs often use different types of alcohol in the process of creating culinary masterpieces.
This gives the dishes a special charm.
However, vodka is rarely used. In most cases, you can hear that this strong alcoholic drink is used to prepare brushwood, fish soup and can sometimes be used to marinate meat.
Not everyone knows that you can cook pasta with vodka.
What is this alcoholic drink used for?
It is worth noting that there is a special Italian recipe, an important component of which is vodka. We are talking about penne alla vodka.
They started preparing this interesting dish in the eighties of the last century. Vodka is not used directly when cooking pasta, but becomes one of the components of the sauce.
The thing is that the recipe for the dish includes two mutually exclusive components - cream and tomato-based paste. The thing is that tomatoes cause milk protein to curdle.
But a strong alcoholic drink helps solve this problem.
As a rule, for a standard portion of sauce take two large spoons of vodka.
