      This is the recipe I used, copied straight out of my recipe list

      Penne ala Vodka 
      
          1. Ingredients 
              1. 16 oz Penne Pasta
              2. 2 tablespoons Olive Oil 
              3. 4 tablespoons Butter
              4. 1 Onion
              5. 2 Garlic Cloves (2 teaspoons of minced garlic)
              6. 1/2 cup Vodka
              7. 1/2 cup Tomato Paste
              8. 1 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 
              9. Salt
              10. Pepper
              11. Basil (Thinly Sliced)
              12. Parmesan
      
          2. Instructions 
              1. Boil a generously salted pot of water for the penne and cook it al dente according to package directions
              2. Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium heat
              3. Sauté the onion for about 5 minutes or until softened (ok if it lightly browns)
              4. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds
              5. Add the vodka and let the sauce bubble
for 30 seconds or so
              6. Stir in the tomato paste until you've got a smooth mixture
              7. Stir in the cream, and reduce heat to medium-low
              8. Let the sauce warm
through
              9. I find this sauce thickens up very quickly (within a couple minutes), but feel free to cook it a little longer to thicken it up even more
              10. Season with salt & pepper as needed
              11. Stir in the fresh basil if using
              12. Toss with the drained pasta (if needed, thin the sauce out a bit with a splash of hot pasta
water prior to draining it)
              13. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese
