Creamy Sausage and Tomato Pasta
- 4-5 Italian sausages (about 1 pound) found in the fresh meat department
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 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
- grated Parmesan for topping
1) Cook the pasta according to package directions. 2) While pasta is cooking, remove the casings from the sausage and brown and crumble the meat (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.
