ingredients

1 lb sweet bulk sausage or 1 lb hot Italian sausage
¹⁄₂ cup finely chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
¹⁄₂ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 ¹⁄₂ cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups light cream
12 ounces rotini pasta (corkscrew pasta) or 12 ounces gemelli pasta (twisted ropes)
3 tablespoons finely snipped fresh basil
freshly ground romano cheese

directions

In a heavy large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, garlic, and red pepper over medium heat until sausage is cooked through, stirring to break up pieces of sausage. Drain off excess fat.
Stir in undrained tomatoes; boil gently, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add half-and-half or light cream. Simmer 4 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; return to saucepan.
Add sauce to pasta; heat through, tossing to coat. Serve on warm plates. Sprinkle with basil. Pass the Romano.

I wish I could give this more stars. My family loved it. Only had two minor changes. I didn't have Italian style stewed tomatoes, so I used italian style petite diced tomatoes. I also didn't have crushed red pepper flakes, just the ground. I used 1/4 tsp. Thank you Gaelige for sharing this recipe.
