Penne with Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce

as found at allrecipes.com

Time Started: 7:10pm

Time Finished: 7:45pm

• 1 pound uncooked penne pasta -- I used the 'Quick Cook' pasta and I would not recommend it
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 
• 4 cloves garlic, minced -- I used pre-minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes -- I forgot these (Sorry)
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vodka
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley -- I used freeze-dried parsley from the produce section
• 2 (3.5 ounce) links sweet Italian sausage

-In a large skillet, heat oil over moderate (Medium) heat. Remove casing from the sausage and add the sausage to the skillet. This will seem like taking a condom off of the sausage. It's gross but needs to be done. 

-Break up the meat and cook until it is brown.
-Add the garlic and red pepper (which I forgot) cook until the garlic browns

-Add tomatoes and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.

As the meat simmers cook the pasta in a pot. Drain but do not rinse the pasta. After the pasta is done, add the vodka and cream to the meat. Bring this to a boil, reduce heat, add the pasta. Toss this together for one minute and then serve.
