Ingredients
2 tsp olive oil4 cloves minced garlic1/4 tsp crushed red pepper28-ounce can crushed tomatoes1/4 cup vodka1/4 tsp dried thyme1/4 tsp dried oregano1/2 tsp salta few dashes fresh black pepper1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil, plus a little extra for garnish1/2 pound penne
Bring a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Preheat a saucepan over medium/low heat. Add the oil, garlic and crushed red pepper to the saucepan and saute for about a minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn. Add the crushed red tomatoes, vodka, thyme, oregano, salt and black pepper. Cover, and turn the heat up a bit to bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, add the pasta to the water and cook according to package directions.
Once the sauce has simmered for 20 minutes, add the almonds. Use an immersion blender to blend the almonds into the sauce until creamy and only slightly grainy. The pasta should be done by now, so drain and set aside. Add the basil to the sauce, and mix the sauce and pasta together in the pot. Serve, garnished with a little extra chopped basil.
