    Recipes Lost and Found

    List of Ingredients




    2 tablespoons olive oil
    3 shallots, chopped
    2 large garlic cloves, chopped
    1 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
    1 cup whipping cream
    2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice with Italian seasonings
    1 tablespoon dried sage
    1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

    3/4 pound fettuccine

    1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic
    and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add sausages and sauté
    until no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add
    cream; simmer 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices, sage and crushed red
    pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15
    minutes.

    Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender
    but still firm to bite. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.

    Return pasta to same pot; add sauce. Toss over medium heat until sauce coats
    pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry.
    Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with cheese and
    serve.

    Makes 6 servings.

    A salad, some crusty bread and wine are all that's needed with this hearty
    pasta dish. For the wine, consider serving a bottle of Chianti or
    Sangiovese.
