A delightful pasta dish combining the richness of a creamy vodka sauce with the savory flavors of ham and Parmesan.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Ensure the onion is finely chopped to blend well into the sauce.
Pour in the vodka and let it simmer until reduced by half.
Allow the alcohol to cook off to avoid an overpowering vodka taste.
Stir in the tomato puree and heavy cream, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir continuously to prevent the cream from curdling.
Add the diced ham and Tabasco sauce, seasoning with salt to taste.
Adjust the Tabasco sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
Cook the penne in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain well.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Toss the cooked penne with the sauce in a large serving bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and serve immediately.
Serve with extra Parmesan on the side for cheese lovers.
