I found this on another website, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Hearty Italian sausage sauteed with garlic and red pepper flakes are simmered with tomatoes and cooked with vodka and cream to make a rich, spicy sauce. Toss with penne and fresh parsley to serve.

1 lb uncooked penne pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons vodka
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2-1 lb sweet Italian sausage

Yum! I really liked this recipe, something a bit different. It really needs the chili to pick it up a little bit. I agree you could easily use spicy sausage. Thanks!

This was a VERY seductive pasta dish......we had it for supper tonight and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it! The combination of sausage, garlic and chilli flakes was wonderful......and the vodka gives it a bit of a kick! I knew we would love this dish when I picked it for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #9, and I was totally RIGHT! Thanks! FT N.B. I am about to travel back to England - I did take photos, but I will post them later - my laptop and camera are packed!

This was a fantastic and easy dish that we really enjoyed for our 'Valentine's Day supper. The perfect amount of sauce and pasta and the right amount of heat! I did use fat free half and half rather than heavy cream to save some fat and calories. All in all this was a delicious meal that dh really enjoyed. Thanks Crafty!
