Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and pepper flakes. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. 2 Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook until onion is tender and sausage is light brown, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. 3 Add tomatoes, olives, cream, salt and parsley. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. 4 Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. 5 Toss with mixture and sprinkle with parmesan.
