My instant pot penne alla vodka has been a fan favorite so I put a little twist on it and made some spicy rigatoni alla vodka. But just a warning, this is SPICY and not for the weak of heart. So creamy, so delicious, with a little kick!
How many WW points is this now?! Click on the link below and it will take you to the recipe I made within your own WW app. Your specific points will be calculated, and you can track that.
I will include my penne alla vodka recipes at the end of this recipe if you want something less spicy. I have an Instant Pot and stovetop version. You can modify my stovetop version to make this spicy rigatoni if you do not have an instant pot.
