Description
Indulge in the Flavors of Italy with “Italian Sausage with Bow Tie Pasta”. This irresistible combination of savory sausage, tender bow tie pasta, and a creamy tomato-based sauce is a true delight for the senses.
Ingredients
- 8 ounce bow tie pasta
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes, canned
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Remove the sausage from its casing and cook it, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it’s browned and fully cooked through.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and the garlic is fragrant.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and heavy cream. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Add the cooked bow tie pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy, sausage-infused sauce.
6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir to incorporate it throughout.
7. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using whole-grain or gluten-free pasta, turkey or chicken sausage instead of pork, and reducing the amount of heavy cream.
