Ingredients

Pasta

Preparation

Cooking the Pasta

1. Cook the Penne Pasta

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making the Sauce

2. Sauté Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. Add Sauces

Stir in the marinara sauce and Alfredo sauce, mixing well until combined.

4. Add Vodka

Pour in the vodka and simmer the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly. Stir occasionally.

5. Season the Sauce

Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked penne pasta to the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

7. Finish the Dish

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil. Cook for an additional minute until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
