Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Pinch red pepper flakes
One 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
12 ounces penne (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup vodka
Kosher salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Handful basil leaves, torn

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring to coat the onions, about 1 minute. Add the canned tomatoes, penne, vodka, 1 teaspoon salt and 3 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has reduced by about half and thickened, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, half the Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Divide the penne among 4 bowls and garnish with the remaining Parmesan and torn basil leaves.
