+# Penne Alla Vodka

+Great and smooth recipe that even a pasta hater enjoys

+

+## ingredients

+* 8 ounces uncooked penne pasta

+* 1 tablespoon olive oil

+* 2 tablespoons butter

+* 1/2 small onion chopped finely

+* 1 clove garlic minced

+* 1/4 cup vodka

+* 1/4 cup tomato paste see note

+* 3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream

+* Salt & pepper to taste

+* Fresh basil, sliced thin optional (to taste)

+* Freshly grated parmesan cheese optional (to taste)

+

+## steps

+1. Boil a generously salted pot of water for the penne and cook it al dente according to package directions.

+2. Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes or until softened (ok if it lightly browns).

+3. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

+4. Add the vodka and let the sauce bubble for 30 seconds or so.

+5. Stir in the tomato paste until you've got a smooth mixture.

+6. Stir in the cream, and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the sauce warm through.

+7. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Stir in the fresh basil if using. Toss with the drained pasta (if needed, thin the sauce out a bit with a splash of hot pasta water prior to draining it). 

+8. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.

+

+## notes

+* Makes ~4 servings (I recommend doubling, as it keeps well)
