Penne alla Vodka Casserole

Penne alla Vodka Casserole

 

1 lb. penne

4 T. butter

1/2 med. onion, chopped in 1/4″ dice

1 T. red pepper flakes

1 qt. roasted tomatoes (or 1 28-oz. can tomatoes)

3 mild Italian sausages (~1 lb.) sliced crosswise in 1/4″ coins

1 c. vodka

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 c. sour cream or whipping cream

1 c. Parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

Salt to taste

 

In a heavy-bottomed sauté pan or skillet, melt the butter and add onion and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-low heat until onion is translucent. Stir in the whole tomatoes with liquid and simmer for one hour. Add the sausage coins, vodka and oregano and continue to simmer for another hour. Turn the heat to medium high, add sour cream (or cream) and stir constantly for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and to cook for another 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. During the final half hour of simmering the sauce, bring 4 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Drop the pasta in the boiling water and cook, stirring frequently until tender but still firm to the bite, a little less done than usual “al dente.” Drain well, put back in pasta pot, add sauce, then toss pasta with sauce and 2/3 C. grated cheese. Adjust for salt. Pour into 2 3/4-qt. casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.
