Salmon in Vodka Sauce
By GratefulSea
The original recipe calls for using penne pasta, but we substituted campanelle, as you can see in the photo. We also added raw spinach with the shallot. Artichoke hearts would be another good addition, and the salmon can be replaced by shrimp or sausage. The prep time mostly went into preparing the herbs; the rest of this dish is quick and easy.

Ingredients
- 12 ounces penne pasta
- 1 shallot
- 1 15 oz can pureed or crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 2 uncooked salmon fillets, chopped
- chopped fresh dill - to taste, a good handful
- fresh thyme - to taste, a good handful
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste (don't be bashful)
