So a few things you should know about me…

1. I’m not like other bloggers who share recipes. You won’t find a long story about every time I have ever eaten pasta from my childhood through adulthood. Just a yummy recipe.
2. I lost weight and learned how to eat healthy following the Noom program. This is not an especially “healthy” or at least low calorie meal, however the great thing about Noom is you can enjoy everything in moderation and my whole family loves this dish so I am sharing.

Ingredients:

• 16 oz bow tie pasta
• 1 lb italian sausage
• 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 1/2-2 cans Italian diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp dried basil
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped onion

Directions:

• Cook pasta according to package
• In a separate pan, cook the sausage, garlic, and onion over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain
