Insert Pasta into the water. Add about a teaspoon of salt to the water. Let the pasta boil for about 15 minutes until al dente or soft enough for your liking’s. Once the pasta is ready. Strain the water out. Place the pasta into a heat safe bowl and place half a stick of butter onto the pasta and let it melt then mix it into the pasta. So the pasta doesn’t stick. This process can be done with olive oil as well. The noodles are going to be used immediately so I won’t add the cooling process necessary if your going to store the pasta for later. The Sauce: Place your Skillet onto your stove top on medium or even lower. Marinara sauce jumps when heated so the lower the heat the more safer and cleaner the conditions will be. Add your marinara to the skillet. Immediately mix in the vodka. The amount really depends on you. It is important to note that you have to heat the marinara and the vodka at the same time because the objective is to cook out the alcohol and hold the flavor of the vodka. So you cook the sauce until you can no longer can smell the vodka essence in the air. At this point you add the heavy cream to the mixture. The amount should be about 1/4 of the amount of marinara you choose to use. Once the sauce is orange. It is ready to combine with the pasta. You can throw your pasta right into the sauce and toss it altogether. Now the pasta is ready for serving. To be served:
