Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cream

Jenny Conway
A delicious creamy sausage pasta dish. A friend gave this recipe to me a few years back, and my family can’t seem to get enough of it. It sounds strange with cream in it, but that just enhances the flavor and texture. This is a very easy recipe. I even use the sauce to make lasagna sometimes too!
