Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Place bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
- Return saucepan to medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to high; add vodka and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by 1/2, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook sauce until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Drain pasta; top with the sauce and sprinkle with the bacon, basil, and black pepper.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- For a lighter meal, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream and opt for whole wheat penne.

Delicious! I used more bacon than called for and added just a touch of sugar to the sauce to cut the acidity. The whole family raved over this..a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
