Homemade Penne Vodka Sauce

✨16 oz penne pasta

✨ 2 tablespoon olive oil

✨ 4 tablespoons butter

✨ 1 small onion chopped finely

✨ 2 clove garlic minced

✨ 0.5 cup vodka

✨ 0.5 cup tomato paste

✨ 1.5 cup heavy/whipping cream

✨ Salt & pepper to taste

✨ Fresh basil, sliced thin optional, to taste

✨ Freshly grated parmesan cheese optional, to taste

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

Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes or until softened and then stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the vodka and let the sauce bubble for 30 seconds or so. Stir in the tomato paste until you've got a smooth mixture. Stir in the cream, and reduce heat to medium-low. Let the sauce warm through. I find this sauce thickens up very quickly (within a couple minutes), but feel free to cook it a little longer to thicken it up even more. 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). Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.

Penne Vodka Sauce is a beloved Italian-American dish known for its creamy texture and robust flavors. The core ingredient, vodka, adds depth and a subtle warmth to the sauce, complementing rich cream and tangy tomato paste. When preparing this dish, it's important to use quality ingredients, such as fresh basil, to enhance the overall taste. Pair your penne vodka sauce with a side of garlic bread or a light salad for a complete meal. A few tips for cooking penne vodka sauce: make sure not to overcook the pasta; al dente is key as it will continue to cook when mixed with the sauce. Additionally, for those looking for a twist, consider adding sautéed shrimp or chicken for a protein-packed version. Enjoy this comforting dish at your next gathering or family dinner; it’s bound to impress and satisfy the appetites of your guests.
