Title: Italian Sausage Angel Hair Pasta
Ingredients:
– 12 oz angel hair pasta
– 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
– 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions:
1. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it browns. Once the sausage is fully cooked and browned, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, heavy cream, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to slightly thicken.
6. Add the cooked angel hair pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
7. Serve the Italian Sausage Angel Hair Pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
