Tuesday Night Vodka

Penne Vodka that is. I had never heard of Penne Vodka until I got to college, but since then I can't get enough of it! I can get enough of the calories and fat that each delicious mouthful contains, so I came up with this low-fat recipe to curb my cravings. Best part (actually there are two): Takes 10 minutes to make, and freezes so well! It makes A LOT, so be prepared to have tupperware on hand, or have a lot of hungry friends over :-)
