Ingredients

  • kosher salt
  • 1 lb. penne rigate
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 c. chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 c. vodka
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 c. heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp. cold, unsalted butter, cut into pats
  • 1/2 c. grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 c. chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Bring an 8-quart stock pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Cook pasta according to al dente package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water and drain pasta.
  2. In a large sauté pan over medium heat add 2 tablespoons olive oil, onions, and garlic; sauté until softened, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, vodka and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Simmer until alcohol burns off, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and butter.
  3. Drain pasta and add to vodka sauce; toss together using tongs. If sauce is too thick, add small amounts of pasta water until desired consistency. Top with Parmesan and parsley; mix gently.
  4. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
