Instructions
- Using your hands, squish the whole tomatoes into a bowl to break them up (reserving the juices) and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Stir in the pancetta or bacon and continue cooking until some of the fat has rendered out, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant.
- Add the vodka and bring to a low boil, let boil uncovered for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the whole and crushed tomatoes (with any juices) and the pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and simmer for an additional 9 to 11 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove from heat, and add the parmesan cheese and parsley. Stir, taste, and season with salt and pepper.
