sometimes i just want to be bad. really bad. and i can't think of anything more for that, than this meal. heavy cream, sausage, cheese, pasta, and bread (buttered). i made this a while back for myself and brian - and it was delicious. how could it not be with the above mentioned ingredients? i did use light cream if that makes a difference to anyone who wants to try it...it shouldn't because it's still loaded with fat and calories!
start by boiling your pasta. i used orecchiette because i like the shape of it, and little clumps of sausage get stuck in the wells. next, cook the sausage in a saute pan. i bought 2 hot italian links with casings. remove the casings and tear into small bits with your hand. continue breaking the sausage with a wooden spoon into small bits. once the sausage has cooked through, put it on a plate lined with paper towels. i wiped out the saute pan as well to get the remaining fat off. i probably saved 5 calories with this 10,000 calorie dinner, but hey. next, pour the cream into the same saute pan you used to cook the pork and heat to a slow, soft boil. reduce to low. toss the sausage back in with some spinach, and add the cooked pasta. mix to incorporate and top with lots of parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. be prepared to lay on the couch after this one! you'll feel really, really full...
