An EASY comfort food recipe that's loaded with Italian flavors, ready in 20 minutes, made in ONE pot, and a family favorite!! No need to boil the pasta separately to save time and dishes!!

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     30-Minute Meals

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed (I used hot but sweet Italian sausage may be substituted)
2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, as desired
3 to 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
1 teaspoon oregano, optional
one 14.5-ounce can petite diced tomatoes (I used Hunt's no-salt added, tomato basil oregano flavor)
2 1/2 cups water
2 cups penne pasta (another small-shaped pasta may be substituted)
1/4 cup sour cream
2/3 to 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, chiffonaded
freshly ground black pepper, to taste if desired

Steps:

  • To a large skillet at least 4-inches deep or large pot, add the sausage, 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil if desired, and brown sausage over medium high heat. Crumble sausage as it cooks; do not drain.
  • Add the garlic, optional oregano, stir, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir nearly constantly.
  • Add the tomatoes, water, pasta, stir, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is al dente and the water has incorporated. Stir once midway through cooking, paying attention to the pasta on the bottom of the skillet so it doesn't stick (this is why I recommend olive oil, even with sausage).
  • Turn off the heat, add the sour cream, and stir to combine.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
  • Add the basil, pepper if desired (I didn't need to add salt), and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE IN CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE



Penne With Sausage in Creamy Tomato Sauce image

This is an easy recipe with tons of flavor, rigatoni pasta can be used in place of penne. If you are using spicy sausages then omit the chili flakes. Try to use only high-quality canned tomato products, it will really make a huge difference in your sauce, no no-name brands for this! With this sauce (and any tomato-based sauce) it needs some time to cook, the longer you cook the sauce uncovered the thicker and richer it will be, you can even start it in the morning turn it off then continue cooking later, cook for even 2 hours!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a good quality canned tomato sauce will make all the difference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. This will prevent it from browning evenly and will make the dish greasy.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is cooked through. This will help to keep it juicy and flavorful.
  • Add the vegetables to the pan with the sausage and cook until they are tender. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and will thicken the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta with grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
