*Italian Sausage can be substituted with cubed pancetta, prosciutto, or crushed American Bacon.
Instructions
Remove sausage casing and place them in a small pot, i.e. 3qt. Using the edge of a spatula, coarsely break the sausage meat apart. Pour enough water to just cover. Bring water to a boil while continuing to chop.
When water has almost fully evaporated, turn heat to very low and melt butter in the pot with the sausages. Make sure sausage meat is cooked through. Keep warm.
Cook pasta in salted water until al dente; strain.
Empty butter and sausage in the pan used to cook pasta. Over low heat mix with cream. Add and gently coat pasta. Sprinkle and toss with a little more than ½ grated parmigiana cheese. Top plated pasta with remaining grated cheeses.
Optional, garnish with chopped Italian parsley and serve with additional grated cheese.
