Preparation

Step 1

Brown sausage in a large sauté pan with olive oil, over medium-high heat. Add in garlic once sausage is browned and cook for 30 seconds to a minute.

Pour in chicken broth, tomatoes and cream, and bring mixture to a boil. Add in pasta, cover and lower heat. Simmer until pasta is tender and sauce has reduced, about 10-15 minutes.
