Becky's Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce and Spicy Sausage

Becky's pasta with tomato cream sauce and spicy Louisiana type sausage - made 4-24-15 and delicious!

16 oz rotini
1 lb Louisianna-style spicy sausage (I used Farmer John from Walmart Neighborhood Market)
1 24oz jar Prego sauce flavored with meat
1 pint heavy whipping cream
2 cups fine shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Slice sausage links into 1/4-inch rounds.  Brown in a skillet until they begin to curl and many pieces are browned on the edges.  Set aside.

2. In a large pot, bring enough water to a boil to cook the rotini.  Add rotini.  Boil for 4 minutes, stiring.  Turn heat off and cover pot.  Let stand for 4 minutes.  Stir again and recover.  Allow to stand for another 4 minutes.  Drain pasta. I always cook my pasta this way, except for angelhair/vermicelli. If you have another way that you like to use, just go ahead and use your way.

3. In the large pot, add sausage, 1 jar of Prego sauce (rinse jar with some water and add this too), 1 pint heavy whipping cream, 2 cups mozzarella cheese.  Simmer over medium-low heat until cheese is melted and all ingredients have come together, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to keep from sticking.

4. Remove from heat and add pasta.

5. Heat leftover servings in microwave.

Makes about 6 main course servings
