Instructions
Heat up a pan with the olive oil and add the sliced onion and chopped garlic. Cook soft on medium heat.
Pour in the plain tomato sauce and combine.
Season with Italian seasoning or oregano, with cayenne pepper or paprika and combine.
Simmer your sauce for 5 minutes, so that the flavors can develop.
Season further with black pepper and salt. Also pour in the vodka and mix it all over medium to slow heat.
Pour in liquid cream and combine too.
Let the sauce simmer over a slower flame for a bit. Take from the heat when it starts to boil or else the vodka will evaporate.
Pour sauce over cooked penne and combine.
Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve hot.
