- Cook your pasta according to the directions on the package. (I used red lentil penne pasta but feel free to use any kind you prefer!)
- In a medium pan, add in diced onions and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in whole tomatoes and vodka. Return to heat and simmer until alcohol cooks off, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
