Bowtie Pasta with Sausage

I found this recipe on Pinterest and had to try it.  It was a pasta that used Sausage and not chicken or hamburger.  I had everything in my kitchen to make this and thought for sure my kids would love it.  My oldest two loved it.  My son picked the tomatoes out but at least he ate it.  My youngest ate all but the meat.  Fine by me.  I have been feeling like a short order cook these days.  With my hubby gone it's hard to cook for the 4 of us.  Nobody likes the same things and it makes me nuts some nights.  I am trying to get back to cooking for us and trying to find things they like that is healthy.

Bowtie Pasta with Sausage

1 package (16 oz) bow tie pasta

1 lb. mild bulk sausage

1.5 teaspoon garlic powder

1 can (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, partially drained

1.5 cups heavy whipping cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. In a separate pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, cream, salt, garlic and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta; toss with sausage mixture. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
