Penne With Two Salmons

• 1 pound whole grain penne
• 1 diced sweet onion, about one cup
• 4 tablespoons sweet butter
• 1 14.5 ounce can whole plum tomatoes, drained, seeded and chopped
• 1 8 ounce can salt-free tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon concentrated tomato paste
• 2/3 cup vodka
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, cut in strips or flaked, depending on what type you get
• 4 ounces fresh salmon, poached and cooled
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, sliced crosswise into stripsinto
• 1/2 cup shredded parmesan, plus more for passing

1. While the water is heating for the pasta, saute the onion in the butter in a large skillet over medium low heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Put the pasta on; add to the onions the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste, turn up the heat and cook, stirring, about a minute. Add the vodka and bring to a slow boil, then turn down the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, another 5 minutes.
3. Blend in the cream and heat until bubbling, then stir in the salmons, the red pepper and most of the basil.
4. Drain the pasta and reserve a bit of the cooking liquid to stir into the sauce. Stir in the parmesan, turn into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining basil.
