Penne alla Vodka

1 lb cooked penne pasta
1 tbl butter
1 large vidalia onion (chopped)
1/4 lb proscuitto (chopped or shredded)
4 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1.5 pints heavy cream
1 jar tomato sauce
1/2 cup vodka
1 cup parmesan/romano cheese
basil, marjoram, parsely to taste

Melt butter over medium high heat in large frying pan. Add onion, toss to coat with melted butter. Cook onion until it begins to turn translucent (just starting to soften), add garlic and proscuitto. Cook until proscuitto begins to fry and all fat is melted.

Add heavy, 3/4 cup tomato sauce and herbs. Stir well. Add tomato sauce until it is the color you desire, bring to a boil. Add vodka, boil about 10 minutes to remove alcohol. Simmer about 15-20 minutes.

Add cheese to cooked pasta, pour hot sauce over the top and mix until well combined. Cheese will melt as long as sauce is still hot.
