Spicy Penne Vodka
By August 3, 2016
My family and I recently went to my nieces 18th birthday party and they served penne vodka. The sauce was from a local Italian deli and was delicious. My wife turned to me and said “You should try making this.” That was all that needed to be said.

Directions
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2Heat the olive oil in a 3 quart oven proof sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the prosciutto, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano and cook for 2-3 minute more. Add the vodka and continue cooking reducing the mixture by half.
3Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan. Add 2 teaspoons salt and a pinch of black pepper. Cover the pan in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
4Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. Drain and set aside.
5Place the tomato mixture in a food processor and puree until the sauce is a smooth.
6Return the sauce to the pan and reheat. Mix in the heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes. Toss the pasta and Asiago cheese into the sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with Asiago cheese and some fresh chopped basil. Serve with bread.
