Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add olive oil, shallots, and garlic. Sauté until shallots start to caramelize, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in parsley, sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

Add tomato paste to the skillet and mix well. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in vodka, scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon, and cook for another 5 minutes.

In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook penne pasta according to package directions. Drain.

Add heavy whipping cream to the tomato sauce in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 3 minutes.

Transfer cooked penne pasta to the skillet with the sauce and mix well to coat. Top with basil ribbons and season with table salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve immediately. Each serving yields about 1 cup of creamy penne with tomato vodka sauce.
