Step 1

Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and crushed red pepper. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.

Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook until onion is tender and sausage is light brown, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.

Add tomatoes, cream, and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.

Add pasta to sauce and cook until pasta is heated through and sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.

Divide pasta between plates. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.
