Creamy Spaghetti: Recipe

Creamy spaghetti is one of my favourite spins on traditional spaghetti. While I do not really like tomato sauce, this replaces it with a creamy sauce. My husband is not too fond of it; he doesn't care for pasta; but between the kids and I, we love it! 

Ingredients:

•  1 to 1 1/2 pounds of ground mild Italian sausage 
• 1 bell pepper diced
• 1/4 onion diced
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning 
• 10 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes (or mild tomatoes if you don't want the spice)
• 3 cups chicken broth or stock
• 10 oz dried spaghetti 
• pinch of black pepper
• pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 mozzarella cheese 

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium pan
2. Combine the bell pepper and onion in when the oil is warm for two minutes, then add the garlic
3. Mix in the Italian sausage until it is brown. Break into small chunks while it is cooking
4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, tomatoes, broth/stock and dried noodles
5. Push the noodles down so they are covered by the broth. Add more broth if needed. 
6. Cover and bring to a boil
7. Once it is boiling, stir and then reduce to a simmer
8. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on low-medium. 
9. Stir in the heavy whipping and cook covered for another 5 minutes
10. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
11. Let sit for 3-7 minutes so the sauce can thicken
12. Enjoy!
