Here is a modern Italian pasta dish that is elegant enough to begin a formal dinner.
Melt or heat in a large skillet over medium heat:
3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
Add:
1 onion, finely chopped
Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add:
2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
Cook, stirring, until just starting to color, about 1 minute. Stir in:
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, lightly drained and chopped by hand or in a food processor
1/4 cup vodka
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Simmer briskly for 10 minutes. Stir in:
1/2 cup heavy cream
Heat through. Stir in:
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Meanwhile, bring to a rolling boil in a large pot:
6 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt
Add and cook until tender but firm:
1 pound penne
Drain and remove to a large serving bowl. Toss with the sauce and serve very hot. Grated cheese is not usually served with this sauce.
