directions

  • Bring a big pot of water to a boil for the pasta. When boiling, add a good amount of salt to the water. Add the penne to the pot. Stir to separate. Add a drizzle of olive or vegetable oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. Cook the pasta as recommended on the package for al Dente. Drain and keep warm.
  • Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and melt the butter with the oil.
  • Add the chopped onions to the oil and butter. Sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, crushing the red pepper flakes in your fingers as you add them. Sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the marinara sauce and mix well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the vodka to the sauce. Continue to simmer for about 3 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thick.
  • Stir the cream into the sauce.
  • Add a pinch of white pepper to taste.
  • When heated through, add the grated cheese.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Stir in the freshly chopped parsley.
