Penne alla Vodka
Ingredients
1 pound penne pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
Pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 pound sliced prosciutto cut into pieces
1/4 cup shallots, diced
1/2 cup vodka
1 28-ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes (we used Cento brand)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Few grinds black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup fresh basil, finely chopped (don’t chop until ready to add to the dish)
Instructions
Place a large pot of water on to boil and once boiling, add some salt and the pasta and cook just short of done.
While the pasta water is heating, prep all ingredients and in a large sauté pan or skillet, place olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, prosciutto and shallots and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until shallots are soft.
Add vodka and cook for one minute.
Add tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook uncovered for three minutes, then add the cream and remove from heat.
Once the pasta is done, return heat to the sauce, and stir in the butter and cook for two minutes. With a spider or strainer, scoop out and add the pasta to the sauce along with ½ cup of pasta water.
Cook just until the pasta is cooked, adding more pasta water as needed.
Add in the Parmesan and stir.
Chop the basil and add and stir again. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.
