A comforting and flavorful Italian dish featuring bow tie pasta, Italian sausage, and a creamy tomato sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz bow tie pasta (farfalle)
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the bow tie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and heavy cream, and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

Serve hot in shallow bowls with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and a side of green salad or bread. Leftovers heat up well and often taste even better the next day.
