Italian Sausage and Pasta

This dish became an instant favorite of Jim’s.  He loved it from the first bite and I loved it because it was so simple and fast to make with ingredients I always have on hand! There were no leftovers with this dish and a very quiet dinner time as everyone was devouring dinner. Add a simple salad or some garlic bread and you are done!

INGREDIENTS
8 ounces bow tie pasta
1 pound Jimmy Dean hot sausage
1 (14 ounce) can of petite diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
Cook the pasta in salt water until al dente.  Drain well and set aside.  Meanwhile, in a large pan, brown and crumble sausage in a large skillet over medium high heat until sausage is cooked through. Drain your sausage. Add your drained tomatoes to your cooked sausage.  Then add your Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Add the cream and bring to a slight boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about ten minutes or until sauce is reduced and thickened.  Add your pasta and grated cheese.  Stir to combine and warm through if needed.
Serve warm.

Enjoy!
