Italian Pasta

I have come to realize that Italian sausage makes every pasta dish instantly better. I honestly don't know how I used regular ground beef in pasta before. The flavor is just amazing and totally worth it.

I was a little bit nervous about this recipe as the only sauce was whipping cream, but it was still delicious! I know whipping cream isn't great for you, but for every once in awhile, this recipe is totally worth it.
