¼ cup olive oil

1 medium (or a few small) Spanish onion(s), chopped or sliced to yield 2½ cups

3 cloves of garlic, minced or sliced

¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (If you are sensitive to heat, just use a pinch and adjust at the end. The ½ teaspoon makes for a seriously spicy sauce.)

1½ teaspoons dried oregano (optional - I don’t use. I love dried oregano, but I don’t always love it in tomato sauce.)

1 cup vodka

two 28-ounce cans peeled plum tomatoes ( 56 ounces total)

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

¾ pound penne pasta or whatever shape you like

4 tablespoons fresh oregano or basil (I use basil)

¼ to 1 cup heavy cream

grated Parmigiano or Pecorino
