Cooking Instructions
Cook the Penne
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add Vodka
Pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
Prepare Tomato Cream Sauce
Add the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked penne to the sauce, tossing to coat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve
Plate the pasta, topped with torn burrata cheese and a generous sprinkle of grated pecorino Romano cheese. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
