Penne Pasta with sausage in cream sauce

List of Ingredients






Penne in Cream Sauce with Sausage


1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
2/3 cup dry white wine
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced peeled tomatoes with juices
1 cup whipping cream
6 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

1 pound penne pasta

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until golden brown and
tender, about 7 minutes. Add sausage and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, breaking up with back of spoon,
about 7 minutes. Drain any excess drippings from skillet. Add wine to skillet and boil until almost all liquid evaporates,
about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices and simmer 3 minutes. Add cream and simmer until sauce thickens slightly,
about 5 minutes. Stir in 4 tablespoons parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. (Sauce can be
prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta; transfer to large bowl.

Bring sauce to simmer. Pour sauce over pasta. Add 3/4 cup cheese and toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup
cheese and 2 tablespoons parsley.

Serves 6.
