Ingredients
- 16 ounces penne noodles cooked according to package instructions
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced (about 1/4 cup, or shallot
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 can tomato paste 6 ounces
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup vodka
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 cup pasta cooking water reserved from cooked pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- basil for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- To get started, make the pasta. Heat a large pot of water to boiling, add the pasta noodles, and cook them according to the package instructions.
- Be sure to reserve 1 cup of cooked pasta water before draining and rinsing the noodles. Set the cooked noodles aside until adding them to the sauce.
- Using a large skillet, heat up the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.
- Add in the garlic and shallot and cook that for 3-5 minutes, or until soft.
- Next, add the vodka and deglaze the pan. Add in the tomato paste, cream, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook these ingredients together until they are heated through, or 5-8 minutes.
- At this point, you may need to add a little of the reserved pasta water to the sauce. Add one tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency of the sauce.
- Finally, pour in the cooked penne noodles and butter. Mix everything together until the butter is melted and the noodles are coated with the vodka sauce.
- Garnish with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve warm.
