By Diana Rattray, About.com

This bow tie pasta is topped with an Italian sausage and tomato sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces bow-tie shaped pasta, or farfalle
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Remove Italian sausage from casings; brown in a large heavy skillet, breaking Italian sausage up with spatula. Remove browned Italian sausage to paper towels to drain. Drain off all but about a tablespoon of the sausage drippings; sauté onions until soft; add minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Drain tomatoes, reserving liquid. Cook tomatoes in the same skillet for about 4 minutes then add liquid. Return Italian sausage to skillet with oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook pasta according to package instructions until done; drain and place on serving platter. Spoon sauce over pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss lightly and serve.
