To start, in a large pot or dutch oven on medium high heat add a little oil then slice and brown chicken sausage. Remove the seared sausage from the pot.
Now, add in diced onion and a little oil. Lower the heat if the pot is getting too hot. After onions are translucent add in minced garlic and diced tomatoes. Season everything lightly with salt and black pepper.
After cooking those ingredients about 3 minutes add in the tomato paste and mix into the ingredients cooking the paste about 30 seconds before moving to the next step. Toss in the chopped herbs (basil & parsley) and seared sausage then stir into the other ingredients.
Next, pour in the marinara sauce, balsamic vinegar and broth. Bring this to a boil then simmer down for 10 minutes uncovered to allow the sauce to thicken.
Then, after 10 minutes remove the sauce from the heat. The noodles should be done at this time if you followed my tip, if not cook them now. Once noodles are finished drain them.
Before adding the noodles into the sauce mix the heavy cream into the pasta sauce and taste for seasoning. Now, add in the noodles.
Serve with fresh grated parmesan and chopped parsley.
