Artie's Sauce with Bowties

This recipe comes from Artie Giacobbe, Chris's brother. It's just fantastic!

Olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage
½ tsp dry red pepper, or to taste
½ cup diced onions
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 - 28 oz. can crushed (or whole, cut up) tomatoes
1-1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half.


Sauté the sausage in olive oil until brown. Add red pepper and onions and simmer for a few minutes. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Don’t burn the garlic. Add tomatoes and cream and simmer until thick. Serve over bowtie pasta.
