Serves/Makes: 4
Ready in: < 30 minutes

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup vodka
  • 3/4 cup canned tomato puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 pound cooked ham, finely chopped
  • 2 drops hot sauce, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • 1 pound penne pasta
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Melt butter in a deep 12\" heavy skillet over moderately low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in vodka, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 4 minutes.

Add tomato puree and cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in ham, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Keep sauce warm over very low heat.

Cook pasta in 6-8 quart pot of boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt per every 4 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain pasta.

Add pasta to sauce and toss with sauce and cheese, adding some of reserved cooking water if pasta seems dry.
