Sweet Sausage Penne in White Wine Cream Sauce
Kathleen
We have been making this pasta for almost a decade, and it never fails to please. It’s not for the diet-conscious.
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (no flavorings)
- 1 cup heavy cream (can substitute light cream)
- 2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
- 1 cup parmesan
- 1 lb penne rigate (ridged penne)
directions
- 1
Heat butter and oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add sausage, breaking into small pieces with back of slotted spoon. Cook until fully browned. Drain excess fat from pan.

Add wine and lower heat to medium. Cook until almost all wine evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. Add entire can of tomatoes and cook for 7-10 minutes, until tomatoes release juices. Add cream and cook on medium-low another 7-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

If you haven’t already, make sure your pasta is cooking by now. Add Italian parsley and cook for 2 minutes. In large bowl, mix cooked pasta, sauce and parmesan (sauce can be made one day ahead).
notes
Serve with an Australian Shiraz!
