ingredients
- 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
directions
- 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.

Very good and quick. I will make this again. However, I reduced the amount of pasta to a little over 1/2 pound. I only had chicken sausage and evaporated milk but the result was still delicious. -
A very good, quick recipe. I used evaporated milk since I didn't have cream, and it was still delicious. Thanks for a great recipe. -
I found this dish on Epicurious a few years ago and have made it a few times since. It was to me, the perfect blend of flavors, sweetness and spiciness- the sage is delightful too. I haven't had it recently because I've been cutting back on the fat, but you can make this with turley sausage and it is just as good. I don't think fat free half and half would do the trick in place of whipping cream though. And of course, use parmesano reggiano! -
This is a really good and easy dish. We just add a salad and grilled garlic bread and we're completely happy. Thanks for posting.
