• 1 Pound of Hot Italian Sausage
• 2 Medium Onions, Small Diced
• 2 teaspoons of Brozzian's Italian Herb Seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of Brozzian's All Purpose Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon of Brozzian's Mediterranean Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of Black Pepper
• 2 teaspoons of Kosher Salt
• 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Minced Garlic
• 1/2 Cup of Vodka (Not Flavored)
• 1 (28 oz) Can of Crushed Tomatoes
• 1/4 Cup of Heavy Cream
• 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan Cheese
• 1 lb (1 Box) of Penne Pasta

Directions:

1. Take all the casings off the sausage by cutting a slit down the middle and peeling the casings off.
   (If you already have ground sausage with no casings, ignore this step).
2. Place the 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil in a large pot or skillet, on medium-high heat.
3. Take the sausage and break it up as you add it to the hot pan.
4. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the sausage is brown and fully cooked.
5. If there is a lot of grease, you may drain some now if you choose.
6. Now add the 2 small-diced onions, 1/2 teaspoon of Mediterranean Salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon of Black Pepper to the pan.
7. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent (see-through).
8. Add the 1 Tablespoon of fresh garlic and the 2 teaspoons of Italian Herbs Seasoning.
9. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
10. Now add the 1/2 cup of vodka, the 1 can of crushed tomatoes, and only 1/2 teaspoon of the All Purpose Seasoning.
11. Bring the sauce to a simmer and lower the heat to "low" so it continues to simmer; stir occasionally. Cook uncovered for 1 hour.
12. With about 10 minutes remaining on the sauce, start to boil water for your penne pasta. Add the 2 teaspoons of Kosher Salt to the water.
13. Once your water is boiling, add the pasta, stirring occasionally for about 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente (to the bite).
14. While your pasta is cooking, add the 1/4 cup of heavy cream and the other 1/2 teaspoon of All Purpose Seasoning to the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
15. Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it directly to the sauce (do no rinse).
16. Now add the 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to the dish; mix and serve. Enjoy!
