Italian sausage and tomato cream sauce

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Hot or mild Italian sausage; links or bulk
¼ pounds Small button mushrooms; halved
1 Red onion; chopped
2 teaspoons Tomato paste
2 Garlic cloves; chopped
6 larges Plum tomatoes; diced
2 tablespoons Finely sliced basil
½ cup Chopped parsley
1½ cup Whipping cream
Salt and pepper; to taste

Directions

If using links, remove sausage from casings. Cook sausage meat until browned, 4 to 6 minutes, in large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up pieces with wooden spoon during cooking. Remove meat to paper towel to drain. Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Reduce heat to medium, return skillet to heat and add mushrooms and red onion.

Cook, stirring, until mushrooms begin to release their moisture and onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook 2 minutes. Add cooked sausage, garlic and tomatoes with any collected juice. Stir and scrape any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Add basil, parsley and whipping cream. Cook until just heated through, about 1 minute, making sure sauce doesn't come to a boil. Remove from heat, taste sauce and season if needed with salt and pepper to taste. Yields 6 servings.
