Farfalle with Sausage, Tomatoes and Cream

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I always keep the ingredients for this on hand, because it's a great dinner to fix when you're short on time.  The sausage adds a kick of spice (and protein) and the cream mellows it out.  The tomatoes round out all the flavors and make for hearty, flavorful weeknight dinner.

Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons  olive oil
  • 1 pound  sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon  dried crushed red pepper
  • 1 cup  chopped onion
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup  whipping cream
  • 1 pound  farfalle (bow-tie pasta)
  • 1/2 cup  (packed) chopped fresh basil
  • Freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Instructions

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and crushed red pepper. Sauté until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is tender and sausage is browned, about 3 minutes longer. Add tomatoes and cream. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sausage mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to same pot. Add sausage mixture and toss over medium-low heat until sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry.
  • Transfer pasta to serving dish. Sprinkle with basil. Serve, passing cheese separately.
