*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. ziti or small tube pasta
• 8 oz. Italian sausage
• 1 small onion, chopped finely
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/2 tsp. basil
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 cup Half-and-Half
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, crumble the sausage into a non-stick skillet and add onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink. Drain off fat. Add tomatoes and seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Half-and-Half; heat through, but do not boil. Remove from heat and pour over drained pasta and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan.

This one is in answer to a request from Sheri for an Italian pasta. It is quick, easy, delicious and makes a meal when a salad is served on the side. Enjoy, Sheri.
