    Penne Pasta with Tomato Vodka Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Arcamax

    List of Ingredients






    1 pound Penne pasta
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 large onion, chopped
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    2 15-oz. cans crushed tomatoes
    1/2 pound Canadian bacon or smoked ham, diced
    1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
    2 cups frozen peas
    1 cup heavy cream or half and half
    1/2 cup vodka
    1/2 cup Romano cheese, grated

    Recipe



    Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until just golden brown. Add tomatoes, Canadian bacon, crushed red pepper and peas and cook for about 5 minutes. Add cream and vodka and cook an additional 5 minutes. Meanwhile boil pasta until cooked al dente and drain. Serve sauce over pasta and sprinkle with Romano cheese.

    The Skinny: Use evaporated milk or low fat half and half instead of cream. We are not aware of a substitute for vodka. If you cannot have any alcohol, just leave out the vodka or substitute an equal measure of apple cider.
