This is a favorite in our house. One of my friends recommended it years ago, and we make it pretty regularly since it's quick and easy for a weeknight.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled (I use turkey sausage)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced onion
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style plum tomatoes drained and coarsely chopped (I use the box of Pomi chopped tomatoes)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream (can use evaporated milk, even fat free is fine, but the heavy cream turns out the best)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
Cooking Info:
Heat oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage and pepper flakes until sausage is evenly brown. Stir in onion and garlic, cook until onion is tender.
Add tomatoes, cream, and salt. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Stir cooked pasta into sauce, and heat through. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

(I don’t always add all of
the pasta – sometimes I pull out some plain for the kids, so I end up with a
little less than a full box.)
