Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Macaroni pasta
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) Crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or deep sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
In the same pan, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and dried basil. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the cooked sausage to the pan and stir to combine.
Add the drained macaroni pasta to the skillet and gently stir until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
