ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 pound Sweet Italian sausage, crumbled (or 1 pound Shrimp or Chicken, I did 1/2 shrimp and 1/2 chicken)
1/2 teaspoon Dried red pepper flakes (I added about 3/4 teaspoon, better)
1/2 cup Diced onions
3 cloves Garlic, minced (4 better)
1 can Italian plum tomatoes, Drained and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cup Whipping cream
1/2 teaspoons Salt
12 ounce Bow tie pasta
3 tablespoons Minced fresh parsley
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
Fresh parsley

1
1. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain.
2
2. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and pepper flakes. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. (Chicken is until it is not pink but sticking with the 7 minute for Shrimp and Chicken should work.)
3
3. Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook until onion is tender and sausage is light brown, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes.

4. Add tomatoes, cream and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
