Dude’s Pasta Dude’s Pasta


Servings: 8 servings
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1 lb. sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 lb. mushrooms, sliced
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 pint heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly ground nutmeg
1 lb. bow tie pasta, cooked
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Heat large skillet over medium high heat and brown sausage, breaking up with the back of a spoon. Add mushrooms, garlic and onion and cook until softened, add a bit of olive oil if needed. Add tomatoes, simmer until thickened. Add cream and simmer. Salt and pepper to taste.

Toss pasta with sauce. Just before serving add a bit of nutmeg and the freshly chopped parsley.

Great with crusty bread and your favorite Beaujolais.

Alternate recipe: Omit the cream and nutmeg and add second can of tomatoes and 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to taste. A little veal stock paste is always wonderful as well.

Know what would make this better? Parmesan & bacon!

My grandmother & aunts used to make amazing cream corn
fresh off the cob & it was so good, but I have not been able to duplicate it. Any ideas?
Thanks

I made this dish and we loved it! It did not look just like the picture but it tasted great. I have made it since and changed a few things ..I added a little more garlic and I used fresh diced tomatoes from my family garden. I will continue making this recipe in the future. Thanks for sharing it.

Happy Cooking XO

I agree - not a wow with me either.  Mine did not look like the one on the photograph and I think that the full pint of heavy cream was the reason.  If I made it again, I would cut down on the cream and bump up the garlic a bit.

This recipe is very simple, but don’t forget to add the nutmeg. This will fill you up, but didn’t “wow” me like other Paula dishes. If you take a bite with a lot of mushrooms, it almost tastes like her stroganoff. Probably won’t make again, but will keep the faith with other dishes she posts
