Add the olive oil to a large heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic and shallots, and sauté until the shallots are translucent.
Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute, stirring it around a bit. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, and vodka, stirring to combine.
Turn the heat heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce reduces by about ¼; about 20 minutes.
While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to directions on the package. Strain and set aside.
Add the cream, stir to combine, and simmer until heated through. Add the Parmesan cheese, stir, and heat until melted.
Add the cooked pasta, stir to coat all noodles with sauce, and serve. Top with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
Notes: You could add some protein, too, if you'd like. Shrimp, scallops, or chicken would all be very good.
