Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb penne pasta

Directions:

  1. Ingredients
  2. • 1/2 pound uncooked penne pasta
  3. • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  4. • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  5. • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  6. • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  7. • 1 garlic clove, minced
  8. • 1/2 cup vodka
  9. • 1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  10. • 1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  11. • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  12. • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
  13. Preparation
  14. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and keep warm.
  15. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add vodka; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about half. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, broth, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes. Place tomato mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Process until smooth. Return tomato mixture to pan; stir in cream. Cook 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in cooked pasta, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and basil. Serve immediately.
