Bow Ties with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cream
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!
Ingredients
- 1 12 ounce package bow tie pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage casings removed and crumbled
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 28 ounce can Italian-style plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
- Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage and pepper flakes until sausage is evenly brown.
- Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until onion is tender.
- Stir in tomatoes, cream, and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir cooked pasta into sauce and heat through.
- Once heated and mixed throughly, sprinkle with parsley.
- Enjoy!
