Spicy Vodka Penne with Sausage

Acquire the necessary components.

Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches a rolling motion. Introduce penne into the pot and cook, occasionally stirring, until it is neither too hard nor too soft to the bite, approximately 11 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside for later use.

Heat a generous amount of oil in a large cooking vessel over an intermediate temperature. Detach the casing from the sausage and add it to the skillet. Cook and stir constantly until the mixture becomes crumbly and has a rich brown color, typically 5 to 7 minutes. Incorporate minced garlic and red pepper flakes into the mixture; cook and stir until the garlic turns a golden shade.

Introduce diced tomatoes and salt into the skillet; bring the mixture to a boil. Gradually decrease the heat and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add a generous amount of cream and vodka; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low setting and introduce cooked penne into the skillet; toss for 1 minute, ensuring everything is well combined. Stir in chopped parsley before serving the dish warm and hot.
