Description

This was first made for me by my sister-in-law who learned the recipe from a friend who worked in a restaurant. It has quickly become a favorite at my house. It is very easy with only a few ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Raw Italian Sausage (5 Sausages In The Package)
  • 2 cans Italian Stewed Tomatoes
  • 1 container Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (1 Pint)
  • 1 package Pasta (I Use Barilla Campanelle Pasta)

Preparation

Boil pasta as directed until al dente. Add a little olive oil to a skillet and brown the sausages then cut in to coins to finish cooking until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes and mushrooms. Cook over low/medium about 20 minutes. Add the heavy cream and cook a little longer to thicken. Stir in pasta. Serve! It’s that easy.

This recipe was delicious! I also found the reviews helpful. I was looking for a quick and easy recipe to use some Italian sausage I had bought, and this surpassed my expectations.

This gets a 5 for ease and taste. I used evaporated milk instead of heavy cream (I was out) and I couldn’t tell a difference. I added a little salt (as another reviewer suggested) and some fresh basil, and it was awesome. I was a little pressed for time, so I turned up the temp to medium-high while the tomatoes and mushrooms cooked (watching it very carefully) and then when the milk was added. I put the sausage into the pan just before adding the pasta so it wouldn’t dry out. This recipe is sure to please!

This was a good dinner that everyone in the familiy enjoyed. I added onions and garlic when cooking the sausage because I find it impossible to cook pasta without them. Next time I would definately add a little crushed red pepper for a little kick and some salt as well (which the recipe didn’t call for and I forgot to taste the sauce and add before serving). This is just a great base recipe with lots of tweek-ability!

So simple and yet soooo yummy!! I doubled the recipe and made dinner for 12 in less than a half hour! Be careful not to let the sausage coins dry out… it is much more flavorful to keep them beautifully succulent!
Bravo Emily! Wonderful dish!!
