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.
