Vodka Sauce With Penne

I got this receipe from a friend a long time ago. It is extremely easy and delicious and has gotten rave reviews every time I've made it. I didn't find one quite like on the website, so I thought I would share. This is a great dinner party meal when served with a nice green salad and a crisp white wine!
