2 1/2 cups chicken stock
Generous pinch saffron threads
Kosher salt
1 head cauliflower, cored
1 tablespoon EVOO
1 pound bulk Italian sweet sausage
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf

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!
