Michael, Carla, and Clinton welcome Bronx-born chef and Food Network favorite Christian Petroni to the Chewed Up kitchen for a masterclass in pasta rebellion. Christian’s “Penne alla Vodka—No Penne, No Vodka” swaps penne for rigatoni and vodka for red wine, blending prosciutto, garlic, cream, and Pecorino into a sauce that defies tradition and tastes like heaven. Between laughs, the gang debates pasta etiquette, Italian authenticity, and what to call your Sunday sauce without starting a war.👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: www.chewedupshow.com/recipes🔑 KeywordsChristian Petroni, Penne alla Vodka, Rigatoni, Bronx Italian, Pasta recipe, Comfort food, Italian-American, Chewed Up, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Clinton Kelly, Parm to Table, Food Network, viral pasta recipe, rigatoni recipe, creamy tomato pasta🕒 Timestamps00:00 – Welcome & sweater weather banter01:45 – Michael introduces guest chef Christian Petroni03:00 – The Bronx to Ponza: Christian’s story05:30 – The real foundation of Penne alla Vodka07:00 – Building flavor: olive oil, prosciutto, garlic, shallots09:00 – The garlic debate + toasting pepper13:00 – Pasta water wisdom: “It’s not the Mediterranean!”14:30 – “No Penne, No Vodka” explained16:00 – The Great Pasta Debate: best and worst shapes20:00 – Parmigiano vs. Pecorino showdown22:00 – Cream and the pink sauce confession25:00 – Undercooking pasta and finishing in sauce28:00 – The basil-smack trick and final toss31:00 – The big tasting reaction33:00 – Fan Mail & Petroni’s biggest food icks35:00 – Giveaway Winner: Sean from Mississippi36:00 – Wrap-up & next episode tease🙌 Special Thanks to Our SponsorsFrontgate → Premium furniture, serveware, and home essentials. frontgate.comAll-Clad → Professional-grade cookware made in the USA since the 1970s. allclad.comHedley & Bennett → Pro-grade aprons and kitchen tools that look as good as they perform. hedleyandbennett.comBlues Hog → Award-winning BBQ sauces and rubs, crowned “Best Sauce on the Planet.” blueshog.comKitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → anthonycarrino.comProduced by Simple Alien → simplealien.comCamera, Audio, and Crew provided by TV Boy → tvboynyc.comWant to Watch?→Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3Z9NDuHH7XP03FXQIhHlQ3)→YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@ChewedUpShow)Want to Listen?→ Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/3Z9NDuHH7XP03FXQIhHlQ3)→ Apple (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chewed-up/id1840993910)→ Amazon (https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1fc5d229-459b-4334-8970-ce0d6f925982/chewed-up)→ RedCircle (https://redcircle.com/shows/c42dbec1-e576-4927-acc7-f22e988c1a81)🎁 Fan GiveawayThis week’s Giveaway: Signed copy of Parm to Table by Christian Petroni👉 Subscribe & enter at chewedupshow.com/fangiveawayAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
