Penne with Italian Sausage in Creamy Tomato Sauce
We make this Pasta with Italian sausage and creamy tomato sauce all the time as it’s an easy and NO FAIL delicious recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 lb Italian Sausages (Spicy or Regular)
- 1 lb Plum Tomatoes, diced
- 2 tsp dried Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 cup Heavy Double Cream, add some more, if needed
- pinch or 2 of Red Chili flakes, (see notes)
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 12 oz Penne or Spaghetti or your favorite Pasta
- Fresh parsley, chopped to garnish
- Parmesan cheese, sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Boil enough water to cook the pasta. Season the water with salt. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. As you are waiting for the water to boil begin cooking the sauce.
- Heat the Olive oil over medium-low heat just until warmed up. Add the sausages and sauté them in oil breaking them apart as you do so with a fork to loosen the meat and prevent them from clumping. Cook until the sausages change color or turn brown.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and dried Italian seasoning. Raise the heat a little and cook uncovered until the tomatoes have softened about 7-10 minutes. Add the red chili flakes at this point, if using.
- Pour in the cream. Gently stir it in and allow to simmer until fully heated through, roughly 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Drain the pasta when done. Add to the sauce and toss until fully coated. Garnish with some chopped fresh Parsley for extra flavor and color. Serve immediately with some freshly grated Parmesan Cheese! Delish!!!
