This is one of those pasta recipes where the pasta really takes a back seat to the sauce. The sauce really is amazing, or as one of my kids would say, "Killer!"

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cloves garlic, peeled
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs ripe fresh tomatoes or 1 1/2 lbs canned tomatoes, drained
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1 lb dried penne
15 sprigs Italian parsley, leaves only
2 tablespoons vodka
1 cup heavy cream
coarse salt

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the garlic.
  • Find a sauce pan or skillet that will be large enough for all the cooked pasta and sauce at the end.
  • Heat the oil the saucepan over medium heat and when the oil is warm add the chopped garlic and saute for 3 minutes.
  • If using fresh tomatoes, cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add the fresh or canned tomatoes to the pan and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the red pepper flakes.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, place the pan with the sauce over low heat and let it simmer while you cook the pasta.
  • Add coarse salt to the boiling water, then add the pasta and cook for 8 to 11 minutes.
  • How long it cooks really depends on the brand of pasta.
  • You should let it go for 1 minute less than for normal al dente.
  • Meanwhile, coarsely chop the parsley.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the tomato sauce.
  • Add the vodka, mix very well, and raise the heat to medium.
  • Saute for 1 minute, stirring the pasta vigorously with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the cream, and taste for salt and pepper.
  • Mix for 30 seconds to allow the cream to get well absorbed into the pasta, then sprinkle on the parsley.
  • Transfer pasta to a serving dish, and serve immediately.
