How To Make penne ala vodka

• Step 1
  Cook the pasta according to package directions,el dente. Strain and reserve. Using the same pot as the pasta,turn the heat to high and add the vodka. Bring to a light boil and add the sauce stirring frequently,lower the heat to a simmer.
• Step 2
  whisk in the heavy cream,3/4 of the grated cheese and stir frequently until the sauce come to a light boil. Chop the basil coarsely and add about half of it for the sauce and the other is for garnish along with the remainder of the cheese.
• Step 3
  The sauce should be pinkish in color and the alcohol in the vodka will evaporate leaving the flavor of the spirit. Serve in pasta bowls with a fork and a spoon so you can get all the goodness! I also like to have this with a good loaf of bread and a nice tossed salad,delicious!! A little red crushed pepper on it isn't to shabby either!! Enjoy!:)
