Creamy Vodka Penne
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 1 pint heavy cream
Instructions
1
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in high-quality olive oil until it becomes soft and fragrant, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Combine diced tomatoes with a fork to release their juices and then stir in chopped fresh basil, adding a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
During this time, prepare a large pot of salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Submerge your preferred type of pasta into the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness; then drain the pasta.

In a separate container, combine heavy cream with your sauce and continue to cook over low heat for an additional 10 minutes. Finally, toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce to create a delicious and satisfying dish
