Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, shopped
1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup whipping cream
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes, in juice
1 tablespoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
3/4 lb fettuccine
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic and sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add sausages and sauté until no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add cream; simmer 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices, sage and crushed red pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
  • Return pasta to same pot; add sauce. Toss over medium heat until sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid by 1/4 cupfuls if mixture is dry. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with cheese and serve.
