"Sweet Italian sausage is simmered with plum tomatoes, garlic, onion and heavy cream to create a thick, rich sauce that's served with bow tie pasta."

Ingredients:

1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 cup diced onion

3 cloves garlic, minced 1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions:

1.	Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
2.	Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage and pepper flakes until sausage is evenly brown. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, cream, and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.
3.	Stir cooked pasta into sauce, and heat through. Sprinkle with parsley. Tips: don't use olive oil.  Drain ALL oil prior to adding the cream to prevent greasy looking cream.
