    Sausage w/Pasta in Tomato-Cream Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 pound sweet Italian sausage
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes (with juices)
    1/2 cup light cream
    1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped, divided use
    1/2 pound penne rigate pasta (or other tubular pasta)
    1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, divided use

    Recipe



    Squeeze the sausage from the casing into a large skillet. Over medium heat, saute the sausage, onion and garlic together. Continue to saute until the sausage is lightly brown, about 7 minutes.

    Drain the drippings from the skillet. Add wine to sausage and simmer about 2 minutes.

    Add tomatoes with juices and simmer about 3 more minutes.

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in cream. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes.

    Mix in 1/4 cup chopped basil and reduce heat to warm. Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan.

    Meanwhile, cook penne pasta according to package directions, about 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.

    TO SERVE:
    Divide pasta into 4 warm pasta bowls or entree plates. Ladle about 1 cup sauce atop each bowl of pasta. Sprinkle each portion with 1 tablespoon each Parmesan and basil. Serve hot. If desired, garnish with fresh whole basil leaves.

    Servings: 4
