Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage
olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 cup red wine
1/4 c. flour
4 tbs butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup heavy cream (or more)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (or more to taste)
1 pound fettuccine pasta, cooked according to instructions (reserve some of the water)
salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, marjoram
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a fork into bite sized pieces as you cook. Strain off fat and reserve.
- Return the skillet to the fire, and saute onions and red peppers in olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic, saute another 5 minutes until the mushrooms release some of their juice.
- Add canned tomatoes and red wine to the sauce vegetables. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and marjoram to taste (be careful with the marjoram, probably about 1/4 teaspoon. If you put too much just add pasta water to the sauce to thin it out, and reduce). Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer.
- While pasta is simmering, melt butter in a small skillet. Sprinkle with flour and garlic powder, and stir with a fork, cooking until light brown/golden (you don't want a peanut butter color like a roux). Add cream to the mixture and combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the sauce, and combine. Add grated Parmesan, salt and pepper taste. If the sauce is too thick, thin out with pasta water.
- Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss.
