Pasta is one of our favs and I am always looking for an exciting recipe to try. This one looked excellent, tasted excellent and was an excellent choice, if I do say so myself! I wouldn't change a thing on this one! Serve it up with some Italian or French bread and it's a go!

Don't even look at the nutritional info......just make yourself look like a culinary goddess (or god) and whip this up for dinner! So easy and tasty. Sort of like gourmet Hamburger Helper. Alas, I too, had to leave out the black olives. As much as I love them it's just not worth the pain of having to watch my sweetie pick them out piece by piece with a sour look on his face. I used a hot Italian sausage just because we like all things spicy and canned tomatoes from my summer garden. Make sure you garnish with the chopped parsley and freshly grated parm....it just adds that special touch and dresses it up. That along with a mixed salad and some Italian bread with olive oil and herbs actually makes for a very impressive dinner. Many thanks to Pot Scrubber for what will be a long time favorite in my house.

This is a super recipe! DD#1 (the chef) gives it thumbs up so thats a great sign! I did make a couple of changes, used regular can of diced tomatoes and 1/2 and 1/2 as those were all I had. Left out the olives, knew the kids wouldnt eat them. I did brown the sausage in oregano flavored olive oil but found that I had too much grease, so next time will omit that step. The cream will make this dish very rich and the 1/2 and 1/2 seemed just right, but did take a little longer to thinken up. Thanx Danya for one for the keep pile!
