Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian pork sausage links
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Boil the sausages in the water 2-3 minutes. Remove the sausage from the water and transfer to a cutting board. Leave the pot of water boiling for the pasta. When the sausages are cool enough to handle, slice them into 1/2-in slices.

- While pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add the drained tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Toss, then cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes. Add red pepper flakes, pepper, parsley, and cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cream is just slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat, add the cheese and beans, and mix well. Taste for seasoning (at least 1/2 t salt). Toss with the pasta. Serves 4-6.
