Have an elevated, yet comforting pasta dinner ready in under 30 minutes. Your family or party guests will think you slaved all day!
Every month, a few girlfriends and I get together for a supper club. We pick a theme, and everyone brings a dish to Casa de Crews. I keep meaning to share more about our supper club, but to be honest, it isn’t anything bloggy. And for me, someone who works full-time and blogs almost as much, getting together with my girlfriends for some much needed catching up, over good food and wine, well I’d rather savor all of that, than worry about pretty pictures for later. Truly.
Last month’s theme was devoted to Fall foods. We had two kinds of pizza with fall-inspired flavors (butternut squash, figs, etc), a ridiculous chili someone else made, and apple pie with ice cream. Nothing about the meal was diet-friendly, but the night itself was good for the soul, and worth every bite!
But last month’s supper club had me craving comfort, that’s perfect this time of year. And so next month’s theme is going to be all things comfort, and pasta! I can’t wait, you guys. I’m making this Angel Hair Pasta with Sausage, and Tomato Cream Sauce. It’s light tasting with Angel Hair Pasta, and a creamy tomato sauce. My favorite part is that it’s packed with flavor, and freshness, but is ready in just 30-minutes.

angel hair pasta with sausage, and tomato cream sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb italian sausage, casings removed
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 cup sweet yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 lb angel hair pasta
- 1/2 cup basil, fresh - chopped
- grated parmesan, to taste
Instructions
- To a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add sausage. Saute until sausage is no longer pink, breaking up with spatula, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; saute until onion is translucent about 3-4 more minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cream to skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- While sausage is browning, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite (al dente). Drain when done, saving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return pasta to the same pot.
- Add sausage/sauce mixture and toss over medium-low heat until sauce coats pasta, adding reserved cooking liquid by ¼ ladlefuls, if mixture is dry. Add in chopped basil, and Parmesan cheese, before serving.
