A quick and easy one-pan pasta dish featuring bow tie pasta and Italian sausage in a rich tomato cream sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound farfalle (bow tie) pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the skillet.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add farfalle pasta and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, stirring occasionally.
  6. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage.
  • If you don’t have chicken broth, you can use water, but the broth adds more flavor.
  • This recipe is a great base for meal planning.
