1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add in the penne and cook until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water for later, and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add in the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Add in the tomatoes (with their juices), the vodka, balsamic vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes. Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes, until reduced slightly and the alcohol smell has cooked off (reducing the heat as needed to keep it simmering). Remove from the heat.
4. Drain and rinse the cashews, then add to a high-speed blender along with the tomato mixture and ¼ cup of the reserved pasta water. Carefully process the mixture for about 1 to 2 minutes, until completely smooth and creamy (being mindful of the hot steam!) - if needed add in more of the reserved pasta water to thin out the sauce to your liking.
