Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high, brown the sausage for 5 minutes, then remove to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, cook the garlic 30 seconds, then add tomato paste and red pepper flakes, cooking 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cream, broth, pasta, and sausage. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan until melted, and season to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

The sauce thickens as it sits, so if you have leftovers, add a splash of broth when reheating.
