Penne in Cream Sauce w/Sausage
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb 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 lb 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
