I recently went to a wedding where there was a wonderful Penne with Vodka Sauce and I realized that although its one of my favorite dishes I hadn't made it in some time. Like Fettuccine Alfredo it isn't the pasta that makes this dish but the sauce. Learning how to make good sauces is key when it comes to building strong cooking skills. This recipe is easy, but also incredibly rich, which is a good thing. I also like to add a little marinara sauce or fresh chopped tomatoes to give the sauce that slight pink color that Penne with Vodka sauce is known for. This is a perfect weeknight meal, it’s great for large crowds, but most importantly just plain great – anytime!

Still having a love affair with asparagus, I decided a simple tart would be the perfect way to showcase this great vegetable. This recipe doesn't get much easier, I'm not a huge fan of tarragon so I omitted that, however a little freshly ground pepper and fresh garlic more than make up for its absence.
