DIRECTIONS

Bring large pot of salted water to boil.
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat.
Add shallots and cook until softened, about five minutes.
Add garlic and crushed red pepper and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add MID'S Sauce and vodka, and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low to maintain a low simmer. Add penne to boiling water and cook until al dente.
