(This is my favorite quick pasta dish, if you don't have the vodka on hand feel free to skip it, and the sauce still tastes great, if you like a lot of spice add more crushed red pepper.)
3 Tbs olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, lightly drained and chopped
1/4 cup vodka
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup heavy cream
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped
salt & pepper
1 pound penne
[NOTE: Put the water on to boil while you prepare the ingredients for the sauce and the pasta will be ready at the same time you finish the sauce. ]
Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook onion about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, vodka and red pepper flakes, simmer briskly for 10 minutes. Stir in cream, add basil, salt & pepper. Cook penne and toss with sauce.
