Equipment

  • Big cast iron or nonstick skillet
  • Large pot for boiling pasta
  • Colander to drain the pasta

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Bow tie pasta about 1 ½ cups
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 Links Italian-style chicken sausage sliced
  • 2 tsp Minced garlic
  • 1 ½ – 2 cans 14.5 oz each Italian stewed tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Dried basil
  • ½ tsp Crushed Red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 ½ cups Heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta as the package says.
  • Heat the olive oil in a big pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes, then set aside.
  • In the same pan, cook the tomatoes, salt, basil, and pepper flakes for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the cream and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Let it bubble a bit.
  • Lower the heat and let it simmer for 6-8 minutes until it thickens, stirring sometimes.
  • Mix the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce. Add the sausage on top or mix it in.
  • Serve it hot, and sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

  • You can keep leftover chicken sausage pasta in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just let it cool down and store it in a sealed container.
  • If you want to save it for later or freeze leftovers, make sure it’s cooled first. Then, put it in a container that’s safe for the freezer. It’ll stay good for up to 4 months.
  • Stick to Italian-style chicken sausage for the best flavour. Other types like Cajun spice can be okay, but avoid using apple sausage in this recipe
