Recipe Summary Penne With Vodka Sauce And Bacon

In this recipe, tomato sauce is spiked a few shots of vodka and served with crispy bacon.

Ingredients | Gnocchi Sauce Bacon

1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta

2 slices bacon, chopped

½ cup chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, chopped

4 fluid ounces vodka

1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

4 teaspoons dried basil

ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Place bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.

Return saucepan to medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to high; add vodka and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by 1/2, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook sauce until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Drain pasta; top with the sauce and sprinkle with the bacon, basil, and black pepper.

For a lighter meal, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and opt for whole wheat penne.
