Zubereitung von Penne A La Russe
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package directions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Pour in vodka and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until slightly reduced.
- Stir in tomato sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gradually whisk in heavy cream, ensuring it incorporates smoothly. Avoid boiling the sauce to prevent curdling.
- Slowly bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
