Ingredients
olive oil2 tablespoons
garlic cloves2
shallots2
pepper flakes0.25 teaspoon
vodka0.5 cup
canned tomatoes28 ounce
heavy cream1 cup
parmigiano-reggiano0.5 cup
basil leaves0.25 cup
penne1 pound
salt and pepper4 servings
Instructions
Step 1
In a large heavy-bottomed French or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium high heat.
Step 2
Add the garlic and shallots and gently saute for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until fragrant and translucent. Lower the heat if the garlic starts to brown.
Step 3
Add the piment dEspelette or red pepper flakes, if using.
Step 4
Pour in the vodka and let reduce by half, another 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Add in the tomatoes and a sprinkling of salt. Bring to a boil and let simmer, uncovered, stirring often to break up the tomatoes, until sauce is thick, about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, bring a large stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, salt the water and cook penne until just under al dente, about 9 minutes and then drain in a colander.
Step 7
While the pasta cooks, stir cream into the thickened tomato sauce. Bring to a boil and lower heat to a simmer. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Add the drained pasta to the tomato sauce and stir to coat the pasta with the sauce. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta; continue to stir and reduce if needed.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano over the pasta and toss to coat evenly.
Step 10
Just before serving, thinly slice or tear up the basil leaves. Divide pasta among 4 serving platters.
Step 11
Garnish with a sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano and basil.
