Big D is a meat and potatoes kinda guy, while I, on the other hand, love a warm and rich pasta dish with a side of leafy greens. So we often compromise and I whip up a meaty pasta dish with a leafy green salad. This weekend was no exception.  And an added bonus ... we used sausage made from hogs we raised right here on the farm. I think they call that the fruit of your labor!

This recipe was adapted from one I found on http://www.allrecipes.com/

Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) package of bow tie pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage (casings removed and crumbled)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup diced green onion

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 light whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon parsley

Directions:






Stir cooked pasta into sauce and heat through. Sprinkle with parsley and voila, dinner is served!
