Instructions
list of 3 items
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage in the skillet until no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes per side). Remove
to a cutting board and slice into rounds.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic and onion over medium-high heat until onion is transparent (about 5-7 minutes). Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce
and basil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low. Stir in the sausage and shrimp. Simmer just until the shrimp turn pink (about 3 minutes).
3. Stir in the cream and simmer for about 1 more minute, or just until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce over cooked pasta.

Recipe Notes
Write list…
• I used “Extra Large” shrimp (26-30 count), but any size shrimp will work in this recipe. You’ll just need to adjust the cooking time, since smaller shrimp
will cook faster. You know the shrimp is done when it turns pink.
• Serve this sauce with any shape pasta that you prefer. I’ve used bowties (farfalle) here, but other good options include penne, rigatoni, fusilli, rotini,
angel hair and spaghetti.
• This recipe calls for uncooked sausage (such as
these Johnsonville Fresh Sweet Italian Sausage Links (opens in a new tab)
); however, you can use precooked Italian sausage instead. Just slice the sausage into rounds first, and then brown in the skillet. It won’t take as long
to brown if the sausage is already cooked through.
• Make a Shrimp Sausage Spinach Pasta: add a few cups of baby spinach leaves to the pasta at the very end when you add the cream. The spinach will wilt
almost instantly and will add a nice green touch to the dish.
• For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh herbs, if desired.
• Cooking for a smaller family? Cut the ingredients in half. The rest of the recipe instructions remain the same.
