Do you make a dinner menu every week? I try to, but sometimes it doesn't always work out. Well today I knew I would be out most of the day so I planned something fairly quick and easy - Creamy sausage and tomato pasta.
Here's the recipe:
4-5 Italian sausages (about 1 pound) - I used 6.
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can Italian style diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can Italian style diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream
5-6 big leaves of fresh basil, chopped
12 ounces penne pasta (get a 16 ounce box and use 3/4 of it)
grated Parmesan for topping
1 cup heavy cream
5-6 big leaves of fresh basil, chopped
12 ounces penne pasta (get a 16 ounce box and use 3/4 of it)
grated Parmesan for topping
Directions:
1) Cook the pasta in salted water al dente, according to package directions.
2) Prepare the sausages while pasta is cooking by brown the sausages and cut them into slices (little circles) or removing the casings and then browned and crumbled the sausages like you would ground beef.
3) Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and saute for a couple of minutes.
4) Pour in the entire can of diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce and heat through.
5) Pour in the cream and heat through. The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it will get so simmer it until it is the consistency you want.
6) Add the fresh basil and let it simmer for a few minutes.
7) Finally, mix the sausage sauce with the pasta and serve. Top each serving with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

One thing added was 1/2 cup of the pasta water (I always do this when making pasta) into the sausage sauce.
