Things are tough right now. There is 4 days until reading week so I don't really want to go grocery shopping. Thankfully, penne a la vodka requires very few ingredients and is aboslutely delicious. I didn't follow a recipe because I had made this before and double checked with my sister about the ingredients and I was correct. I looked for one online to link too, but none of them were satisfying enough to share.
Basically all you need is: bacon, onion, garlic, cayenne pepper, vodka, tomato sauce, and heavy cream (I used whipping cream)... and in that order. For two servings I used 5 strips of bacon, cut up into bite size pieces and then fried. Not to a crisp, you want them to be soft. Remove from pan, get rid of bacon grease. Add half a white onion and 2 garlic cloves - allow onions to soften. Add the bacon back. Add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper (I think if i had used anymore my mouth would have burnt off!) and allow flavours to mix, then add 1/4 cup of vodka, half a container of plain tomato sauce (could also used diced, tomatoes for some chunks), and then as much cream as you'd like to meet your creaminess desires! Bam! Sauce is done. Cook and add whatever pasta you'd like!
