Italian Sausage With Tomatoes And Penne Recipes

ONE POT ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA

Steps:

• To a large skillet at least 4-inches deep or large pot, add the sausage, 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil if desired, and brown sausage over medium high heat. Crumble sausage as it cooks; do not drain.
• Add the garlic, optional oregano, stir, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir nearly constantly.
• Add the tomatoes, water, pasta, stir, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is al dente and the water has incorporated. Stir once midway through cooking, paying attention to the pasta on the bottom of the skillet so it doesn't stick (this is why I recommend olive oil, even with sausage).
• Turn off the heat, add the sour cream, and stir to combine.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
• Add the basil, pepper if desired (I didn't need to add salt), and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
