Penne Vodka

1 box Penne pasta
2 cloves garlic (or more to taste)
Olive oil
¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper (or more to taste)
28 oz Crushed Tomatoes (the chunkier the better, you can use Italian style)
4 oz tomato sauce (small can)
8 oz Heavy Cream
1 shot Vodka
½ cup Parsley (fresh is better)

Make Penne Pasta per recipe on box.

At the same time, in a frying pan, add olive oil and brown garlic and crushed red pepper. When browned, add crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce and bring to boil. Once boiling, lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain pasta water and return pasta to same pot and put on medium heat. Add tomato mixture. Add heavy cream, vodka, and parsley and stir. It will be soupy, but as it is heated and stirred it will thicken.

Serve with grated cheese, salad, and garlic bread.
