Ingredients
- 8 oz. Italian sausage 225g, sweet
- extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz. short cut pasta 225g, such as farfalle or rigatoni, dried
- 1/4 cup sage fresh leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 lb mushrooms (450g, such as cremini, shiitake, oyster, or chanterelles)
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme fresh leaves
- 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 cup half and half 120 ml, or heavy cream
- ½ cup walnuts toasted
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- Parmesan Cheese shaved or romano cheese
Instructions
- Remove the sausage from the casings, and form into small meatballs. In a skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and fry the meatballs until browned, crisp, and cooked through. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta and cook according to package instructions, undercooking the pasta by 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving about a cup of the cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, add another tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and add the sage. Once the sage is crisp, remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and cook the mushrooms until caramelized, along with the fresh thyme. Add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add the half and half, along with the pasta, meatballs, and parsley. If the sauce needs to be loosened up a bit, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the crispy sage, walnuts, and cheese. Serve!
