Creamy Italian Sausage Pasta
This Creamy Italian Sausage Pasta comes together in just 20 minutes for a quick and easy dinner the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- 450 g rigatoni pasta (or similar)
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 leeks sliced thinly (white and light green part)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, remove the sausages from their casings and crumble the sausage meat into a heated skillet. Cook over medium heat until the sausage is cooked, approximately 5 minutes. Be sure to break up any large pieces as it cooks.
- Add the leeks and continue to saute for a few minutes to soften leeks. Season with Italian seasoning. If there is a lot of fat in the pan, drain it.
- Sprinkle the sausage meat with flour and stir to coat. Add the tomatoes and milk and simmer over medium heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the sausage sauce over the pasta and toss it all together to coat evenly. Serve with extra parmesan, if desired.
