Penne with Vodka Sauce

This is a Giada De Laurentiis recipe from foodnetwork.com. I have also made this using garden fresh tomatoes in the summertime. So so good!

1 quart simple tomato sauce, recipe follows or store bought tomato sauce blended until smooth.
1 C. vodka
1/2 C. heavy cream at room temperature
1/2 C. grated Parmasan
1 lb. penne pasta

Simmer the tomato sauce and vodka in a heavy large skillet over low heat until the mixture reduces by 1/4, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Stir the crean into the tomato and vodka sauce. Simmer over a low heat until the sauce is heated through. Stir in the Parmasan cheese until melted and well blended.

Meanwhile cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and transfer it to the pan with the sauce and toss to coat.
