Pasta Recipe!

Hey girls....  So I thought I would post something really quick. So this recipe I got from allrecipes.com and Drew's mom makes something similar so I thought I would give it a go.  It's super easy and way good too!

So here it is.......

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package bow tie pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
2. Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage and pepper flakes until sausage is evenly brown. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, cream, and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. (here i don't add the cream until some of the liquid of the tomatoes evaporates, other wise the pasta will be soupy)
3. Stir cooked pasta into sauce, and heat through. Sprinkle with parsley.

So some things really quick.  You could easily half it but I do the whole thing because I love left overs.  2nd, I didn't use a whole pound of italian sausage. I think I used like 3 links(sorry if thats gross).  Then I didn't use a whole pound of pasta but probably like a half a pound and then 2 garlic cloves instead of three.  Also I don't think I used the whole 1 and 1/2 cups of cream either.  More like 3/4 cup.  Okay so maybe I did half the recipe but I did use 2 cans of tomatoes.  I like my pasta more runny then not!  

Anyways, love ya gals!
