Ingredients
  • ½ pound uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅓ cup tomato paste
  • 2 ½ tablespoons vodka
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
Directions
  1. Cook pasta according to instructions on the packaging.
  2. Meanwhile, add olive oil and tomato paste to an 8-inch skillet on medium heat. Stir constantly until the paste turns a darker shade of red (about 3 minutes). It's okay if the paste and the oil do not fully mix at this point.
  3. Add vodka. Allow the alcohol from the vodka to boil off (about 2 minutes).
  4. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from heat.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss with cooked penne pasta. Serve hot and enjoy!
