Vodka Penne with Lemon-pepper Chicken

Dinner 8.08.2012: Vodka Penne with Lemon-pepper Chicken
Vodka Penne with Lemon-pepper Chicken
Vodka sauce is something one usually buys in a jar, but since I made a large pot of marinara sauce today what better day than trying out a new recipe: Vodka sauce. It was delicious!

Vodka Sauce (plain marinara sauce, vodka, heavy cream, kosher salt to season, grated parmesan, basil chiffonade) - gently simmer marinara and vodka for about 20 mins. Stir in heavy cream; heat through. Adjust seasoning. Toss al-dente penne with sauce; stir in chiffonade basil and top with grated parmesan.

Lemon-Pepper Chicken (little olive oil, kosher salt, lemon-pepper from TJs, lemon juice) - 'massage' marinade into chicken and let marinade for at least 30 mins. Sear one side in pan with a little olive oil, turn over and roast @ 375F for 12 minutes.
