Penne Alla Vodka

When I'm craving cheap, easy, comfort food there's one meal I usually turn to: penne alla vodka. I've been using the same recipe for several years and I've always gotten lots of positive feedback:

Ingredients (for 2 very generous servings or 2 smaller servings and some leftovers)
1/2 pound penne (I like to use whole wheat penne to be a *little* healther)
garlic powder
salt
pepper
1 14-oz can tomato sauce (plain sauce with nothing added, e.g. Hunt's - not a prepared pasta sauce that's ready to heat and eat)
1/3 cup vodka
1/3 cup heavy cream (you need the real deal - no half-and-half)
parmesean cheese
fresh mozzarella cheese (to top)

Directions: Prepare pasta according to directions. While pasta is cooking, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat in a frying pan. When tomato sauce begins to boil, add the vodka and garlic powder/salt/pepper and turn the heat down to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring constantly, for 8 minutes. Add the cream and turn the heat to low. Stir well. Add the pasta, and stir to coat it well. Stir in a good amount of parmesean cheese (1/4 to 1/2 cup) and serve immediately, topped with more parmesean and fresh mozzarella!
