Notes
- Pasta: Or a similar shape of pasta like radiatori or fusilli.
- Italian sausage: You could also use ground Italian sausage. Hot or mild Italian sausage will work.
- Red pepper flakes: Feel free to use as much or as little as you like.
- Heavy cream: Using heavy cream will give you thicker, richer sauce than using half-and-half. However, you can use less if you prefer.
