Steps:
- Cook and stir bacon and rosemary sprig with olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until bacon renders its fat but is not crisp, about 5 minutes. Pour vodka into the skillet, standing back to avoid any flare-ups. Raise heat to high and continue to cook until the vodka reduces to about 2 tablespoons.
- Pour heavy cream into skillet, stir briefly, and add black pepper; bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir until sauce has slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix marinara sauce and water into cream mixture and bring to a simmer. Lower heat and simmer sauce 20 to 25 minutes to blend flavors.
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still chewy, about 10 minutes; drain and return to pot. Pour sauce over penne and stir to combine. Turn off heat, cover pot with a lid, and let stand 5 minutes for pasta to absorb sauce. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your dish. Choose ripe tomatoes, aromatic basil, and creamy vodka.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the salmon, make sure to give it enough space so that it can cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness: Salmon can be cooked to rare, medium, or well-done. If you're not sure how you like it, start by cooking it to medium.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Penne pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should still have a slight bite to it.
- Add the cream sauce to the pasta gradually: This will help you avoid curdling the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: A sprinkling of fresh basil or parsley will add a nice finishing touch to your dish.
