I love Penne Alla Vodka, I actually love any pasta that includes cream. I have made this recipe a few times, but I wanted to try it by eliminating the vodka and substitute it with some wine. I wondered what type of wine I should use with this recipe and thought that Moscato might be a good choice. It is sweeter than a dry white wine, but that is what I thought would make this recipe work.
Since I was using canned tomatoes, the sweetness of the wine could balance the acidity of the tomato sauce without using sugar as I usually would.
I was right, there was not any sweetness indicated in the sauce but it brought a boldness and help balance out all the flavors while having them compliment each other more than I could have imagined.
