Sausage Pasta

This is a delicious almost-one-pot meal. It warms up great for leftovers too! We usually use Dave's homemade sausage (recipe to come later) but it works great with store-bought sausage too!


Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• 1 lb. hot or mild Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled
• 1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 28 oz can italian diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 lb bowtie pasta
• 3 Tbsp. fresh parsley, minced
• Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and pepper flkaes. Cook until sausage is no longer pink (~7 minutes). Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook until onion is tender and sausage is light brown (~7 minutes). Add tomatoes, cream and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly (~4 minutes)

Cook pasta until tender. Drain. Add pasta to sauce, sprinkle with parsley and fresh Parmesan.
