ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: PENNE WITH A CREAMY TOMATO VODKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Let's start simple for the kids. You'll bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook it until al dente. Drain it-like always, you know.
• In the meantime, heat the olive oil in another medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and let bloom until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and a small pinch of salt. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Add in the heavy cream and simmer another 5.
• Reserve about 1/2 cup of the penne and divide between 2 small bowls. Ladle the creamy sauce over the pasta and garnish with Parmesan. Maybe add a little bit of basil if your kids like it. Done!
• Now for you: Let's get back to the creamy sauce. Add the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and vodka; let it simmer another 5 minutes or so. Taste it and add a pinch of salt if needed.
• You can either toss the remaining pasta with the sauce (my preferred method), or ladle the sauce over the penne. Do whatever makes you sob like a baby.
• Garnish with more freshly grated Parmesan and basil leaves! Serve with a giant green salad, crusty bread and WINE (obviously the wine). All caps necessary. For the love. The end.

• Cut the garlic, onion, and herbs (if using fresh) while the oil heats up.
• Saute the garlic, onion, seasonings, and ham/prosciutto until the meat is browned.
• Pour in vodka with the browned ham/prosciutto.
• Simmer for 10 minutes.
• While sauce is simmering, cook pasta according to package directions until al-dente.
• After sauce has simmered for 10 minutes, most of the alcohol smell should have dissipated.
• Stir in tomatoes and tomato sauce and simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes (or longer if desired, longer allows flavors to mix more).
