Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

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.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality Italian sausage. Look for sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and herbs.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
To make the sauce even more flavorful, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
If you are using fresh tomatoes, be sure to peel and seed them before adding them to the sauce.
Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.

Conclusion:

This creamy pasta with tomato and Italian sausage is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of creamy sauce, flavorful sausage, and juicy tomatoes is irresistible. Serve it with a side of crusty bread and a glass of wine for a complete meal.
