It looks fantastic! I haven't made my vodka sauce in forever because I have been trying to lose weight so I'm avoiding pasta, but penne alla vodka is my go to "impressive" meal. I made it for my now fiancee before we started dating. I make mine with a base of homemade marinara instead of just tomato paste. Usually I make the marinara for something else, and then use the Leftovers for vodka sauce. However when I made it for my fiancee, I woke up early before work and made the marinara that morning, and then made the vodka sauce and pasta. I brought it to her at work(we met at work, call center where worked the same schedule) and dropped it by her desk. It was a birthday present because she had never had it before. She ate some of it, and then took it home and her roommates ate the rest of it. They told her then she needed to dump her current s/o and date me instead. We started actually dating a couple weeks later.
