This Tomato Basil Pasta has savory pasta tossed in an incredible Parmesan cream sauce with sausage, fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil. You can’t beat this restaurant-quality dish!
This Tomato Basil Pasta is at the very top of my favorites list right now. You aren’t going to believe how good this sauce is! (Seriously.)
A little ground sausage infuses the skillet with flavor that’s deglazed with white wine before preparing the amazing Parmesan cream sauce for the pasta.
The sauce is equal parts chicken broth and half and half, so it’s not too heavy, and pairs perfectly with fresh tomatoes and fragrant basil. The herbs and flavor enhancers in this recipe take the flavor profile to restaurant status. I can’t wait for you to try this!
