 Categories: Pastas, Sauces
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      1 lb Penne or other
           Tubular pasta
      5 tb Unsalted butter
    2/3 c  Vodka, preferable
           Polish or Russian
    1/4 ts Hot red pepper flakes
           Or more to taste
     16 oz Italian plum tomatoes,
           Drained, seeded
           And pureed-(can use
           3/4 c Ponni crushed
           Drained tomatoes)
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 c  Parmesan cheese, grated
 
  Preparation : In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne
  until al dente (tender but firm) for 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt
  the butter in a large noncorrodible skillet over moderate heat.  Add
  the vodka and hot pepper and simmer for 2 minutes.  Add the pureed
  tomatoes and cream and simmer 5 minutes longer.  Season with salt.
  When the pasta is al dente, drain well and pour into the skillet with
  the hot sauce. Reduce the heat to low, ad the cheese and mix
  thoroughly. Voila! Serve with a salad and good bread (it's pretty
  rich and very potent). Serve 4 to 6. Walt MM
