Penne Pasta with Vodka Cream Sauce

• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 Tablespoons Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1 whole Onion, Diced
• 1 Tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/2 Tablespoons Oregano
• 1 can 28 Oz Can Whole Tomatoes
• 1 cup Vodka
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• Salt And Pepper
• 1 pound Penne Noodles, Dry
• 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated

1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat, and add the onions and garlic.
2. Cook until translucent.
3. Add the red pepper flakes and dried oregano and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Meanwhile, add tomatoes to the food processor and puree until the sauce is a smooth consistency.
5. Add to the pan and heat through.
6. Most people like to add the vodka before the tomatoes, but I think the flavor is stronger if you add it after.
7. So, add your vodka and stir to combine.
8. Once combined, add your cream and stir to combine.
9. Season with salt and pepper, reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
10. Cook your pasta (according to package instructions) at this point.
11. Then drain it and add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine.
12. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
