Time 1h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup heavy cream
3 ½ cups tomato sauce
1 cup water
14 ½ ounces dry penne pasta
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Cook sausage in a Dutch oven over medium heat until browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in parsley and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in white wine and cook until the wine has nearly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in marinara sauce and water and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce for 1 hour.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne, and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Combine pasta and sauce; remove from heat, cover and let sit for about 2 minutes.
  • Serve pasta and sauce topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
