Quick Penne Alla Vodka

• 12 ounces penne rigate (we use whole wheat penne or ww fusilli)
• 3 tablespoons butter, to taste
• 1/4 cup pancetta, chopped or 1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, diced
• 1/3 cup vodka
• 1 (26 ounce) jar marinara sauce
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• kosher salt, to taste
• fresh ground pepper, to taste
• freshly grated parmesan cheese

1. Start a pot of salted water boiling.
2. In a 12" skillet, melt butter over medium heat; when it foams, add pancetta (or mushrooms) and saute for about 6 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high; add vodka. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Meanwhile, put pasta into the pot of boiling water.
3. Add the marinara sauce and cream to the skillet. Simmer sauce gently, stirring occasionally; Add salt/pepper to taste. When pasta is just barely al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet.
4. Gently stir pasta and sauce for a minute or two. Transfer to a hot bowl, and serve with the grated cheese.
