Bowtie Pasta with Italian Sausage - April (Lori's house)

4 links Italian sausage with casings removed (I used two sweet and two hot sausages)
1 onion, chopped fine
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
28 oz crushed tomatoes or diced, depending on your preference (I used half and half)
Basil to taste (1-2 tbsp)
1 cup cream
1 pound bowtie pasta

Cook sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up as you cook it.  Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the meat and cook until meat is cooked through and onion is soft and translucent.

Add tomatoes and basil and bring to a simmer.  Lower heat to low.  Stir in cream.  Bring to a simmer and continue simmering uncovered on low.

Cook pasta according to package instructions.  Cook to al dente.  Pour sauce over cooked noodles and serve.
