One Recipe, Two Meals: Penne with a Creamy Tomato Vodka Sauce image

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings (2 kids, 2 adults)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt
1 pound penne pasta
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, blended in a food processor
1/2 cup heavy cream
Grated Parmesan and basil leaves, for garnish
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 pinch crushed red pepper
1 shot (50 milliliters) vodka

Steps:

  • Let's start simple for the kids. You'll bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook it until al dente. Drain it-like always, you know.
  • In the meantime, heat the olive oil in another medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and let bloom until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and a small pinch of salt. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Add in the heavy cream and simmer another 5.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of the penne and divide between 2 small bowls. Ladle the creamy sauce over the pasta and garnish with Parmesan. Maybe add a little bit of basil if your kids like it. Done!
  • Now for you: Let's get back to the creamy sauce. Add the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and vodka; let it simmer another 5 minutes or so. Taste it and add a pinch of salt if needed.
  • You can either toss the remaining pasta with the sauce (my preferred method), or ladle the sauce over the penne. Do whatever makes you sob like a baby.
  • Garnish with more freshly grated Parmesan and basil leaves! Serve with a giant green salad, crusty bread and WINE (obviously the wine). All caps necessary. For the love. The end.

Provided by fallenrunner

Categories     Penne

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

salt
1 lb penne
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato (chopped)
1/2-3/4 cup dry red wine
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream (eyeball it)
fresh ground pepper
1 cup arugula (coarsely chopped)
1 cup fresh basil (torn or shredded, about 20 leaves)
asiago cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water, add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • While the pasta is working, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; add the garlic, onion and sundried tomatoes and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and reduce for 1 minute, then stir in the crushed tomatoes. When the tomatoes are heated through, reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the cream. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the pasta and toss with the tomato sauce until coated. Transfer the pasta to a platter or to individual shallow bowls and top with mounds of the arugula and basil. Pass around the cheese at the table.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the sauce will be. Look for ripe, flavorful tomatoes that are in season.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and have released their juices.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Let the sauce simmer. Simmering the sauce for a while will help to develop its flavor. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. Penne, spaghetti, and macaroni are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Penne with Two Tomato Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
