salted butter

garlic (minced)

vodka

tomato paste

heavy cream

penne pasta

Parmesan cheese ((divided))

chopped flat leaf Italian parsley ((for garnish))

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt two sticks of butter.

When butter is completely melted, add garlic. Saute for 30 seconds. Add vodka while whisking constantly to combine.

Still cooking over medium heat, hold a lit match to the top of the butter/Vodka sauce until it catches fire. The flame will run across the whole top of the sauce and then burn out on its own.

Whisk in tomato paste and heavy cream. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook over low heat for 30-45 minutes or until there is no longer a bitter after-taste from the vodka. This will ensure no alcohol remains in the sauce and will leave you with a rich, signature sauce.

Meanwhile: boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. Cooked until al dente or desired doneness.

Drain pasta.

Add 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese to the finished sauce and whisk until smooth.

Add drained pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce.

Top with remaining parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
