-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tb Butter
1 tb Olive oil
1 Onion -- chopped
28 oz Can Italian plum tomatoes
1 c Heavy cream
1/4 c Vodka
1/4 ts Dried crushed red pepper
1 lb Penne pasta
1/4 c Parmesan -- freshly grated
1 tb Fresh chives -- minced
Drain, seed, and chop the tomatoes. Melt butter with oil in heavy
large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until
translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and cook until almost no liquid remains in pan, stirring
frequently, about 25 minutes. Add cream, vodka, and red pepper and
boil until thickened to sauce consistency, about 25 minutes. Season
to taste with salt and pepper. Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead.
Cover and refrigerate.
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but
still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Transfer to a
large bowl.
Bring sauce to a simmer. Pour over pasta and toss well. Sprinkle with
Parmesan and chives and serve.
