Quick and Easy
Farfalle with Creamy Tomato Sauce and Sausage
Looking for a quick and easy meal after a long day at work? Look no further, my friend! This recipe combines farfalle pasta with a creamy tomato sauce and plenty of sweet Italian sausage. This meal comes together quickly — and most of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry.
This dinner is fast and easy enough to cook on weeknights after a long day of work – and delicious and pretty enough to serve guests. Definitely my favorite kind of meal!
First, heat a pot of salted water on the stove for your pasta.
While you wait for the water to boil, dice an onion, crumble up your sausage, and chop your canned tomatoes.
(Pro tip: quickly chop your tomatoes right in the can using kitchen shears. No messy cutting board clean-up!)
Then you’re ready to start cooking!
Brown your sausage, add onions and cook until soft, then add the tomatoes and cream and simmer.
While your sauce is simmering, drop your pasta. By the time the pasta is cooked, your sauce will have thickened and become completely delicious.
Drain your pasta, mix everything together, and serve topped with some Parmesan cheese.
Buon appetito!
