Ingredients
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, sweet or spicy (add ½ teaspoon crushed Italian red pepper if using sweet sausages)
  • 1 onion, chopped into ½ inch chunks
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 28 ounce can whole Italian plum tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 1 pound chunky pasta such as penne, rigatoni, farfalle or fusilli
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves, torn up into small pieces
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sausage and crushed red pepper, if using and sauté until sausages are no longer pink, breaking up into chunks, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté 3 minutes.
  4. Pour canned tomatoes in a bowl and crush with clean hands to create a nice, even, chunky texture.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and cream to the skillet, reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture thickens a bit, about 3 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions and drain, reserving about ½ cup pasta water, then return the pasta to the same pot.
  8. Add the sauce to the pasta and toss over medium heat, adding reserved cooking liquid in ¼ cup increments if it seems too dry.
  9. Transfer to a serving dish.
  10. Sprinkle with the torn basil leaves.
  11. Serve, passing the grated Parmesan separately.
