Vodka Sauce Cover

With the weather cooling down quickly and bikini season far behind us, it’s acceptable to eat pasta every night… right?  Even during warmer weather, I crave a large, comforting bowl of pasta at least once a week.  For me, penne vodka is one of the most classically comforting pasta dishes there are.
