Cook your pasta according to package directions, reserving 1/4 a cup of pasta water before draining.
In a pan over medium heat, saute the diced onion and garlic until translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir, followed by the vodka, almond milk and coconut cream. Mix until a sauce is formed, then add the red chili flakes, salt and pepper.
Pour in the reserved pasta water and cooked penne to the pan. Stir until the pasta is coated, adding a handful of spinach or fresh basil in at the end. Serve with nutritional yeast and more salt and pepper as desired.
