In unheated skillet large enough to hold th pasta later on, combine the oil, garlic, crushed red peppers, and pinch of salt, stirring to coat with oil. Cook over moderate heat just until garlic turns golden but does not brown - 2 to 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring water to rolling boil, add 3 T. slat and penne, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook until tender but firm. Drain.

Add drained pasta to skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss. Add vodka, and toss again. Add cream and toss. Cover and reduce heat to low, and let rest for 2 minutes to allow pasta to absorb the sauce. Add parsley and toss again. Serve immediately. Traditionally, cheese is not served with thsi dish. I sprinkle more parsley over served pasta for presentation. :-)
