Pasta with Sausage Cream Sauce

The thing I love about this recipe is that it's
 not only delicious and easy, but I can let it
 simmer on the stove for quite some time until

I'm ready to serve dinner. That makes it a
good pot luck or buffet dish. The added
cream is a nice flavor change from the
traditional pasta sauce.

 I used bulk Italian sausage, but you
can use links and remove the casing.

 Saute the onions and garlic in a little
olive oil, then add the sausage breaking
up with a wooden spoon until browned.

 Drain off any excess fat. Add the wine
and bring to a boil for about 2-4 minutes to
reduce the wine.

 Stir in the crushed tomatoes.

 Add the cream.

 Let it simmer until...whenever you're ready.

 Chop a handful of fresh parsley.

Stir that in. 

Boil your pasta. I like rigatoni with this. 

 It's makes great leftovers the next day.
