Italian Sausage in Tomato Cream Sauce Pasta Tips

I’ve been really craving pasta lately, partially because it’s versatile and economical. Mostly, though, it’s because it’s quick. Most pasta recipes I share on callmepmc.com are ready in less than 30 minutes. Because really, who has much more time than to spend on dinner?

This pasta has a creamy tomato sauce that I’m particularly fond of. It’s creamy and tangy all at once. Add spicy Italian sausage, and this Italian Sausage Recipe is a very popular one. It’s easy enough for weeknight dinners but impressive enough for a supper club or entertaining!

Italian Sausage Cooking Tips

I used a mild Italian sausage in this recipe; you can get it hot if you prefer, but I don’t recommend the sweet Italian sausage.

You can also use gluten-free pasta, whole wheat pasta, or any shape pasta.

If you’re not a wine drinker or don’t want to open a bottle just for half a cup in this recipe, you can substitute chicken broth.

Grate parmesan cheese yourself. I don’t recommend the pre-shredded kind. Freshly grated parmesan is so much more flavorful and worth the extra effort.

I love this pasta recipe and it was a hit with my family, too!

Love this! It’s so saucy, definitely try this!

My family love this pasta dish .

I assume you mean ‘mild’ Italian sausage, not ‘milk’…and we are to take sausage meat out of casing, correct?

This looks so fresh and delicious! Truly! The photo is absolutely stunning and I am all about a creamy sauce with pasta. I will definitely be making this! 🙂 Pinning, Stumbling and Yumming!

I looooove sausage in pasta. I think I have all the ingredients so this may happen tomorrow! It looks so good!

Question on the instructions. It says to add wine to the skillet, but never instructs to remove the cooked sausage, yet later says to add the sausage.
Could you clarify if the wine is to be boiled in an otherwise empty skillet?
Otherwise I can’t wait to try this, thanks!
