Sausage and Creamy Tomato Pasta

This recipe makes a lot so make sure you invite all your neighbors over.  Also have copies of this recipe ready cause it is so good!!

Ingredients:

1 lb Italian sausage cooked and drained
1 cup chopped onion
3 gloves garlic, minced
1 (16 oz) can Italian style diced tomatoes
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 cup heavy cream
5-6 leaves of fresh basil chopped (I sometimes omit this and it still tastes great)
12 oz penne pasta (Get a 16 ounce box and use 3/4 of it)
Grated Parmesan for Topping

Directions:

Cook the pasta in salted water al dente.

While pasta is cooking, cook the Italian sausage.

Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and saute for a few minutes.

Pour the entire can of diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce and heat through.

Pour in the cream and heat through.  The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it will get so simmer until it is the consistency you want.

Add the fresh basil and let is simmer for a few minutes.

Finally mix the sauce, with the pasta and serve.  Top each serving with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
