Spicy Italian Sausage Pasta

• porções: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 10 minutes
• tempo total: 30 minutes

Ingredientes

8 ounces uncooked penne

11 ounces hot Italian sausages (see note)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 cup chicken broth or white wine

1/2 tablespoon flour

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juices)

1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Small handful fresh basil (sliced/torn into small pieces)

Freshly grated parmesan cheese (to taste)

Instruções

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta al dente according to package directions.

Meanwhile, take the sausage meat out of the casings and crumble it into a skillet. Cook it for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until browned.

Once the sausage is browned, take it out of the pan and transfer to a plate. If there's a lot of excess fat left in the skillet, drain most of it.

To the skillet, add the garlic, followed by the chicken broth. Sprinkle the flour in. Whisk it until the flour has dissolved, and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook this mixture until it's significantly reduced (should only take a minute or two in total).

Add in the tomatoes, cream, and the sausage meat. Cook the sauce for a few more minutes until it's thickened to your liking. Season with salt & pepper as needed.

Just prior to serving, add in the torn basil leaves and then toss with the drained pasta. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
