Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
½ cup vodka
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup light cream
½ cup grated Romano cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound penne pasta

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for an additional minute.
  • Stir the vodka, crushed tomatoes and light cream into the onion mixture, turn heat to high, and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir in the Romano cheese and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Season finished sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Transfer pasta to a large bowl and pour vodka sauce over, tossing to coat pasta with the sauce to serve.

This dish is a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce is very heavy and the penne is a bit too soft. I would not recommend this recipe.
