Creamy Tomato Pasta

I confess. I am OBSESSED with Pinterest. OBSESSED.

There. It's out there. Judge away.

In the mean time, I'll tell you about a recipe that is kind of inspired by a recipe I saw on pinterest. I made a creamy tomato and sausage sauce to pour over pasta and holy rusted collander, IT WAS GOOD!

Please, try it and share with a friend...its delicious and very easy.

Here's what you need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely diced onions
pinch of red chili flakes
1 mild Italian sausage link, uncased
1 can Italian seasoned diced tomatoes
1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh pecorino romano

1/2 cup pasta, cooked

1. In a large fry pan, heat oil. Add garlic, onion, chili flakes and Italian sausage. Cook until sausage is lightly browned.
2. Add half can of diced tomatoes and simmer over low heat.
3. In a small chopper or food processor, combine remaining tomatoes and cream and puree until tomatoes are mostly smooth. Add to tomato and sausage mixture and mix thoroughly. Add cheese and mix again.

Pour over cooked pasta and toss together, then top with a little more cheese if you're feeling crazy. Ha!

This really was good! If you REALLY know me, you'll know that as a child I hated spaghetti and spaghetti sauce. I don't know why. I just know that on spaghetti night, I had buttered noodles. For me to provide you with not one, but TWO spaghetti sauce recipes is quite a milestone. They have to be good if I'm eating them and sharing them with you. Try them. Picky kids and friends should like both recipes.


Happy cooking, yall!
