1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2
While waiting, heat the unsalted butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium flame until it starts to shimmer.
3
Throw in the finely chopped yellow onion and saute until it becomes translucent. This usually takes around 3 to 4 minutes.
4
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the saucepan, stirring constantly for 30 seconds. Avoid browning.
5
Next, include the canned diced tomatoes, tomato puree, salt, sugar, and vodka. Bring it all to a boil.
6
Lower the heat to medium and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
7
As the sauce simmers, cook the penne pasta in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set it to one side.
8
Stir the heavy cream into the sauce and let it simmer for another 3 minutes. It should be mostly smooth with a few chunks.
9
Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked penne pasta. Stir it well. Keep it on a medium-high heat until the sauce clings to the pasta.
10
Toss in the freshly chopped basil, then adjust the seasoning if required.
11
Serve immediately in bowls, passing the shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese separately for garnish.
