Ingredients
- 12 ounce bow tie pasta
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook 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 until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Sauté until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes and heavy cream to the skillet. 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 in the creamy tomato sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Transfer the Italian Sausage with Bow Tie Pasta to a serving dish and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve this hearty, comforting dish warm and enjoy every delicious bite!
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano, red pepper flakes, or fresh chopped basil to the sauce. These herbs and spices will complement the Italian sausage and tomato flavors beautifully.
