I like this rich sauce served over bow-tie pasta or penne.
Ingredients:
2 lbs bulk italian sausage
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium sweet red peppers, chopped
2 medium green peppers, chopped
6 -8 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans italian stewed tomatoes, drained
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 lbs uncooked bow tie pasta or 1 1/2 lbs penne
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside.
2. In a Dutch oven, saute the onions, peppers and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomatoes, brown sugar and seasonings.
3. Cook pasta according to package directions.
4. Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, process tomato mixture in batches until smooth. Return to the pan.
5. Add sausage, heat through. Gradually stir in cream. Cook and stir over low heat for 5 minutes. Drain pasta; top with sauce. Sprinkle with cheese.
