Ingredients
12
ounces
penne pasta
1
pound
Turkey Italian Sausage
1
medium onion
diced
3
cloves
garlic
minced
16
ounces
Italian-style diced tomatoes
8
ounces
tomato sauce
1
cup
half-and-half
½
teaspoon
dried basil
¼
cup
grated Parmesan cheese
for topping
fresh chopped basil
optional garnish
Instructions
Cook the pasta in salted water Al Dente, according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, brown the sausage and drain grease.
Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and saute for a couple of minutes.
Pour in the entire can of diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce and heat through.
Pour in the half-and-half and heat through. The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it will get so simmer it until it is the consistency you want.
Add the basil and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Finally, mix the sausage sauce with the pasta.
Top each serving with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (if desired).
Notes
Serve with garlic bread and side salad.
