Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 500-600 grams of fresh penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 375 gram package of mild or spicy Italian Sausage
  • 2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 796 ml can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1-2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons vodka
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • Parmesan cheese flakes to top

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes (the penne are quite thick and takes a while to cook!) until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • In a large skillet, heat up the olive oil then fry the ground Italian sausage until cooked. Add in the garlic and sauté for two minutes until browned.
  • Drain the grease (some people prefer to keep the grease in, the choice is up to you).
  • Add in the tomatoes and sugar. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Mix in the vodka and the whipping cream.
  • Bring to a boil again and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Add in the pasta, toss to coat.
  • Serve with Parmesan on top.
