CREAMY SAUSAGE PENNE



Creamy Sausage Penne image

This luscious pasta dish is one I've avoided making recently; it's not exactly a lowfat dinner and I feel guilty serving it to my husband -- neither of us should be eating such a high calorie meal. But it's so, so good! Even though I can't claim it's part of a healthy diet, I hope you try it at least once -- it's a fast, easy dish, after all! I serve this with a simple green salad.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb penne pasta (fusilli or ziti could also be used, but I prefer penne)
3 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 lb sweet mild Italian sausage
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small bits)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the penne until al dente; drain well and do NOT rinse.
  • After you put the water on to boil, remove sausage meat from the casings, crumble, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic and cayenne and saute for approximately 30 seconds, then add sausage meat to skillet.
  • Cook until sausage meat is no longer pink (about 5 minutes or so).
  • Add cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg to skillet and turn heat to high to bring mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, gently, until the cream reduces and the sauce thickens a bit; it takes about 10 minutes.
