Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 8-ounce package sliced mixed mushrooms
- Freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Shredded Parmesan cheese, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and rosemary and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Return the sausage to the skillet, then add the cream and 1 cup water; bring to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the spaghetti to the skillet and toss with the sauce, adding some of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Top with shredded Parmesan, if desired.

Reviews
Used hot Italian sausage and cooked the mushrooms in portobello & garlic olive oil. I did not have any cream, so I just used 1/4 cup of milk. Turned out perfectly. Definitely a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Surely, a keeper.
Perhaps my expectations were too high, or perhaps it was my substitution of a non-dairy cream instead of cream, but the pasta was not what I expected. It was a bit dry and lacked a flavor complexity, and I added sautéed garlic. If I were to try it again, I would add more herbs, perhaps fresh oregano, some pepper flakes and some additional liquids. I could highly recommend Giada’s Rigatoni with Sausage and Peppers, however.
delicious

So good! Super easy and such great flavor. My husband absolutely loved it!
I have made this several times and everyone has loved it & its extremely easy to maeke. I have tried substituting the heavy cream with fat free cream and low fat milk. Both also came out good its a lower fat alternative.
