Categories     Other Sauces

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb good penne pasta( like barilla)
2 qt marinara sauce( i use my own)
2 pt heavy cream
16 oz romano cheese, grated
1 small bunch of fresh basil
1 1/2 c vodka

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the pasta according to package directions,el dente. Strain and reserve. Using the same pot as the pasta,turn the heat to high and add the vodka. Bring to a light boil and add the sauce stirring frequently,lower the heat to a simmer.
  • 2. whisk in the heavy cream,3/4 of the grated cheese and stir frequently until the sauce come to a light boil. Chop the basil coarsely and add about half of it for the sauce and the other is for garnish along with the remainder of the cheese.
  • 3. The sauce should be pinkish in color and the alcohol in the vodka will evaporate leaving the flavor of the spirit. Serve in pasta bowls with a fork and a spoon so you can get all the goodness! I also like to have this with a good loaf of bread and a nice tossed salad,delicious!! A little red crushed pepper on it isn't to shabby either!! Enjoy!:)
