Author:
Recipe type: Pasta
Ingredients
  • 1 Package of Italian Sausage links or Italian Ground Sausage (fresh meat department- the spicey variety adds a lot of depth)
  • 1 Chopped Onion
  • 3 Cloves Minced Garlic (or 1.5 teaspoons of jarred minced garlic)
  • 14.5 – 16 oz. can Diced Tomatoes with Italian Herbs
  • 8 oz. can Tomato Sauce
  • ½ Tub of Italian Cheese & Herb PHILADELPHIA Cooking Creme (or 1 cup heavy cream)
  • 3 tsp. dried basil (Or 5-6 leaves of fresh chopped basil)
  • 12 oz. Penne Pasta (Use ¾ 16oz. box)
  • Grated Parmesan
Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, drain and set aside (don’t rinse).
  2. In the mean time, remove those clear outer casings on your sausage if it has them. Start cooking your sausage on a low-medium heat and crumbled it with your spatula. Once it’s browned and almost completely cooked, add onions and garlic. Keep your heat on low medium to avoid turning the garlic bitter.
  3. Saute until onions start to look translucent. Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir and heat through.
  4. Add cooking creme and basil, heat through.
  5. Add your pasta and serve with Parmesan. Yummy!
