Carmela,
Here's the Penne Vodka recipe:

Penne with Vodka Sauce

2 tbsp. butter
½ onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp. flour
2 cups cream
¼ cup vodka
¼ cup tomato paste
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
Sprinkle of basil
1 cup grated cheese

• Melt butter in a pot
• Sautee the onion and garlic over a low flame. Do not allow garlic to brown
• Add flour and thicken
• Add the cream, vodka and tomato paste
• Stirring constantly, bring slowly to a boil. Sauce will thicken slightly
• Add the seasonings
• Add grated cheese, stirring constantly, until completely melted and blended
• Serve over one pound of cooked penne pasta

The seafood risotto is not difficult at all, but it is time-consuming. I will find the exact recipe and post it soon.
