Tomato and Sausage Pasta

A new recipe! Finally...

This recipe comes from Lil Luna's blog. I've made this twice now, once to try and once requested. My family LOVES this stuff. It's super easy and super delicious! I found this recipe on pinterest, which is where I find 99% of my recipes. 

Here we go. 

 Ingredients: 
1. Parmesan cheese (1c)
2. Garlic (3 cloves)
3. Heavy whipping cream
4. Pasta 
5. Italian sausage
6. Salt (I used garlic salt)
7. Pepper 
8. Basil 
9. 2, 14.5 oz canned tomatoes

First, I chopped the garlic and onion. 

I poked holes in my sausage so they wouldn't explode. These are sweet Italian, but you can use any kind you want. 

 Added them to a heated pan with olive oil. 

Added the onion and garlic to the pan. 

Meanwhile, get that pasta boiling! 

Once the sausage are mostly done, I removed them from the pan, chopped them up, and added them to a different pan to continue cooking all the way through. 

While those were cooking, I chopped and added tomatoes into the first pan. I had a picture, but apparently it went missing. 

After I added the tomatoes, I added parmesan, salt, and heavy cream. I forgot to add the pepper and basil, but go ahead and put those into the first pan as well. Keep that heated until it thickens up a bit. 

Mix it up! Once the sausage were done, I added those back into the pan with the sauce. 

Mmmmmmm. 

Once the pasta was done, I drained that, like usual. I added the sauce in with the pasta, mixed, and served. 

Added a little parmesan on top for garnish, and VOILA! The dish is done! 

I hope you enjoy this recipe! It's not terribly time consuming, and you don't dirty many dishes making it either!

Ingredients: 

1lb Italian sausage                         2, 14.5oz cans Italian style stewed tomatoes, chopped 

1c parmesan, shredded                  Heavy whipping cream 

Salt                                               Onion, chopped 

Garlic, 3 cloves                              Basil 

Pepper                                          Pasta, your choice 

Olive oil 

Directions: 

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.

2. Chop garlic and onion. 

3. Heat oil in a pan, and poke holes in the sausage. 

4. Once the pan is heated, add the sausage, garlic, and onion. 

5. Chop the stewed tomatoes. I added one can of the juice and drained the other. Feel free to add both cans of the juice or none! I liked the extra flavor for the sauce. 

6. Once the sausage were mostly cooked through, I chopped them, then put them in a different pan to finish cooking. It's difficult for me to tell when they're in with everything, so that's why I separated them. 

7. Add parmesan, salt, pepper, and basil to the pan with the onions, garlic, and tomatoes. 

8. Add in heavy whipping cream. The original recipe calls for about 1.5c, but I just eyeballed. I stopped adding it when the sauce and color looked good to me. 

9. Continue heating the sauce to allow the cream to thicken a bit. 

10. Add sausage back into the sauce. Continue cooking for a few minutes. 

11. Once the sauce is at the desired consistency, add to pasta! 

12. Garnish however you please, and enjoy!
