CREAMY SAUSAGE PENNE



Creamy Sausage Penne image

This luscious pasta dish is one I've avoided making recently; it's not exactly a lowfat dinner and I feel guilty serving it to my husband -- neither of us should be eating such a high calorie meal. But it's so, so good! Even though I can't claim it's part of a healthy diet, I hope you try it at least once -- it's a fast, easy dish, after all! I serve this with a simple green salad.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb penne pasta (fusilli or ziti could also be used, but I prefer penne)
3 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 lb sweet mild Italian sausage
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small bits)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the penne until al dente; drain well and do NOT rinse.
  • After you put the water on to boil, remove sausage meat from the casings, crumble, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic and cayenne and saute for approximately 30 seconds, then add sausage meat to skillet.
  • Cook until sausage meat is no longer pink (about 5 minutes or so).
  • Add cream, salt, pepper and nutmeg to skillet and turn heat to high to bring mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, gently, until the cream reduces and the sauce thickens a bit; it takes about 10 minutes.
  • Place cooked penne in a large serving bowl (it's nice if you warm it first) and pour sauce over; add butter and cheese to bowl and combine all well.
  • Taste; add more salt and/or pepper if you wish.
  • Sprinkle chopped herbs over top and serve.

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!
