Ingredients

16 ounces ground sausage (spicy)
16 ounces penne pasta (dry)
1/2 medium yellow onion (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
10 ounce diced tomato (fire roasted, drained & rinsed)
28 ounce crushed tomatoes
3 ounce tomato paste
2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
oil for cooking
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

First, in a pot or sauce pan on medium high heat, add a little oil and the spicy Italian sausage. Cook until done then remove from the pot.
Next, toss in diced onion and fire roasted diced tomatoes. Add more oil for cooking about 2-3 tablespoons.
Now, cook the onion until fragrant and translucent. Then, add in the minced garlic cloves and season with salt and black pepper.
Once the garlic starts to brown add in the tomato paste and cook the pasta by mixing it in with the other ingredients for about 30 seconds. Also, toss in the cooked sausage, dried oregano and thyme now.
Next, pour in the can of crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer.
Add in the balsamic vinegar, while the sauce is simmering cook the pasta. This way when the pasta is al dente you can toss it directly into the sauce after you drain the water.
While the pasta is cooking remove the sauce from the heat after it has simmered about 10 minutes. Before adding the pasta into the sauce pour in the heavy cream. Do not add the heavy cream while the sauce is still boiling.
When pasta is done, toss into the sauce and plate. Serve the spicy Italian sausage with a garnish of parmesan cheese.
