This pasta packs a flavorful punch with a slight hint of vodka and the smokey bacon combined with a rich tomato cream sauce. It's simple and you will love it!
Ingredients
- 1 jar marinara sauce shopping list
- 1 cup vodka shopping list
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan shopping list
- 1/2 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 1/2 lb. smokey slab bacon (I used black forest bacon) shopping list
- 1 lb. penne pasta shopping list
How to make it
- This is amazinly simple. Place bacon on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes in a preheated 400 oven. Bacon should be cooked through and slightly crisped. Remove and let cool, then slice into 1/2" pieces.
- Add marinara to a cooking pot. Use a stick blender to puree the sauce. Place over medium heat, add chopped bacon and vodka. Simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions and then drain.
- When sauce has simmered for 20 minutes, add paremesan and cream. Simmer for 3 additional minutes. Pour sauce over pasta and toss.
