Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 1 pound Turkey Italian Sausage
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 16 ounces Italian-style diced tomatoes
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • fresh chopped basil (optional garnish)

Instruction

  • Cook the pasta in salted water Al Dente, according to package directions.
  • While pasta is cooking, brown the sausage and drain grease.
  • Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and saute for a couple of minutes.
  • Pour in the entire can of diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce and heat through.
  • Pour in the half-and-half and heat through. The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it will get so simmer it until it is the consistency you want.
  • Add the basil and let it simmer for a few minutes.
  • Finally, mix the sausage sauce with the pasta.
  • Top each serving with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (if desired).
