Penne alla vodka (penne with vodka) is a classic Italian dish, beloved for its simplicity and vibrant flavor. This recipe makes it even easier. You don't have to cook the pasta and sauce separately: all the ingredients are combined in one pan, and the pasta cooks while the creamy tomato sauce thickens with vodka. Once the alcohol has evaporated, you'll have a smooth, delicate sauce with a rich flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a 4-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring to coat the onion, about 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes, penne pasta, vodka, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has reduced by half and thickened, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the heavy cream, half the Parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Divide the pasta among four plates and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and torn basil leaves.
Note
The success of this dish depends on the specific shape of the pasta, so we do not recommend substituting penne with another pasta.
