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.
