Kimbre's Pasta

1 lb. pasta (penne or rotini work best)
1 pkg. ground italian sausage (I like mild, but you can do hot if you like your food spicy!)
3  14oz cans stewed tomatoes
1 cup cream (you can also use half & half if you want to go cheaper/ less fat)
parmesan cheese (the more expensive shredded stuff is delish, but grated works too)

Start water boiling for your pasta.  In a large skillet brown your sausage.  While sausage is browning, pour the stewed tomatoes undrained into a blender or food processor.  Pulse until you get the consistency you like-- I like mine a little chunky.  Once sausage is brown, add tomatoes and cream- it will be kinda soupy.  Let it warm through while pasta cooks.

Cook pasta UNDER desired tenderness-- a little hard in the middle is just about right.

Drain pasta, but DO NOT RINSE.  Pour pasta and sauce into casserole dish.  Sprinkle generously with cheese and mix in.  Top with more cheese if desired--I like lots!

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, or until pasta has soaked up all that goodness and is tender!  This is a new favorite italian comfort food for our family!
