A fast easy Italian dinner that pleases my picky eaters. My own kids as well as my niece and my nephew love this pasta. It doesn't take long and it tastes amazing! Don't trust me? Ask my picky five-year old and he'll tell you. Read more Sorry about the black in the corner, my camera was picking up something it shouldn't have and it was in all the pictures. See less
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, or enough to coat the bottom of your skillet shopping list
- 1/2 of a medium sized onion, chopped or diced shopping list
- 2 tablespoons water shopping list
- 1/4 cup vodka, any brand shopping list
- 1 pound dried pasta, penne is my favorite you can use whatever shopping list
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes shopping list
- 1 can ( 8 oz) tomato sauce shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper shopping list
- 5 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, more or less if you like shopping list
- 1/2 cup half-and-half shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, shredded (can use a little bit of dried if you don't have fresh) shopping list
How to make it
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook for about 10 minutes, until they are softened, adding the water if needed to prevent any sticking.
- Add the vodka; cook about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
- Add pasta to the boiling water and cook to al dente, tender yet firm. If you cut into a pasta, like Penne, there shouldn't be a bright white ring in the center, that's a no-no.
- Meanwhile, add tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, 12 minutes.
- Drain pasta and put into a bowl.
- Add parmesan, half-and-half, and basil to the skillet; heat through. Toss with the hot pasta.
- Serve with salad and garlic bread.
