Creamy Tomato and Sausage Fettuccine

By LaurenCocch16

Ingredients

• 1 pound of fettuccine pasta (or you can use spaghetti)
• 1 pound of Italian sausage (I used an Italian chicken sausage but you can use turkey or pork too)
• 1 shallot, chopped (right next to the onions and garlic...you can use a small onion instead if you like)
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
• Salt and Pepper
• 3 About 3 tablespoons of cream (whatever you have on hand...whipping cream, heavy cream or even milk)
• Parmesan Cheese, grated to garnish

Preparation

Step 1

- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook your pasta to al dente (about 7 minutes or so).

- Meanwhile, over medium-high heat, brown your sausage in a tablespoon of EVOO. Once it's browned and crumbly, add in your shallot and garlic. Saute a few minutes.

- Reduce heat to low and stir in your diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning and tomato sauce. Sprinkle in a little salt and pepper. Simmer about 5 minutes. Stir in your cream.

- Drain the water from your cooked pasta. Stir the pasta into your tomato sauce and combine.

- Ladle pasta into bowls and garnish with a little cheese.
