CREAMY SAUSAGE FETTUCCINE

Category: Pasta - Meat

12 oz fettucini, undercooked by 2 minutes
3/4 lb hot Italian sausage
1 clove garlic
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 cup tomato sauce
4 cups milk
2 tbsp flour
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup minced parsley
Parmesan cheese

Brown sausage in frying pan and cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Wipe frying pan clean, return to heat. Add garlic and olive oil; stir until garlic is slightly browned. Return sausage rounds to pan, add pepper and next 3 ingredients. Increase heat to high, until liquid comes to a full rolling boil, stirring often.

In a small bowl, whisk flour and enough milk to make a smooth paste. Add remaining milk and whisk again. Add milk mixture to pan. Let boil and keep stirring until mixture thickens slightly (consistency will be somewhere between a soup and gravy). Add slat and pepper to taste. Add pasta and let mixture sit for 2 minutes. Serve. Garnish with parsley and cheese.
