Steps to make Vodka Sauce the via Appian Way:
  1. In a 4 qt. pot add olive oil and heat to medium. When oil ribbons add diced onions and cook until soft and slightly browned. About 5-6 minutes.
  2. Grind red pepper over pot, add oregano, parsley and stir for approximately 15 seconds.
  3. Add tomatoes, cover until the sauce begins to boil then simmer on low for 1 hour. Make sure to stir the sauce every so often. WARNING - the base for the sauce is really thick please use caution when removing the lid to stir. I've been hit by hot sauce. 😉
  4. Carefully add vodka, stir, increase heat to medium, let sauce come to a boil, half cover pot and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir often.
  5. Remove lid and begin to slowly pour 1/2 the container of heavy cream (you will not need the whole container). Stir completely. Pour a little at a time until the sauce is salmon/pink in color. Slice thin between 5-10 large basil leaves and add to sauce. (This depends on your taste buds. We use more than 5.) Let sauce come to boil (lower the heat if needed) and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring continually. Take off element immediately if you have an electric stove.
  6. Cook penne according to directions, make sure to drain completely and pour enough sauce to cover but not drown the penne. Add extra sauce on top of each portion, grated cheese and finish with fine shreds of fresh basil.
  7. LET'S TALK ABOUT HERBS - In the middle of winter when fresh herbs are too $$ it's fine to use dried herbs. For dried herbs use half the amount required by the recipe. So if it says 1 tspn fresh, use 1/2 tspn dried. Before adding dried herbs rub them between the palms of your hand to release the essential oil. ALL EXCEPT DRIED BASIL - eliminate it completely. Fresh basil has a unique taste and when the basil dries it changes the flavor and will bitter the sauce.
