Servings: persons

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian pork and fennel sausage, crumbled
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon fresh chopped sage
1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
3/4 cup dry red wine
2 1/2 cups peeled, seeded and diced tomatoes, fresh or canned
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces dried penne or rigatoni

1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until the fat is rendered and the juices have evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaves, sage and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, 15 minutes.
2
Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of fat and discard. Turn the heat to high, add the wine and boil until it evaporates, 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens, 30 to 40 minutes.
3
Remove the bay leaves and discard. Add the cream and half of the Parmigiano Reggiano and stir together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta, put it back in the pan and toss with the tomato sauce. Place on a platter, sprinkle with the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano and serve immediately.
