Ziti with Sausage

I love pasta dishes, they are great quick weeknight meals.  This dish has great flavor and is an inviting change from spaghetti and meatballs!  This dish is great with garlic bread!


1 pound ziti, cooked according to package
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons parsley
5 Italian chicken sausages cut into 1 inch chunks, hot or sweet
28 ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup half and half
salt and pepper


In a large skillet combine olive oil, garlic, onion and Italian seasoning.  Turn heat on to med-high.  Stir while cooking until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Add in sausage and cook for 2 minutes.  Add tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.  Let simmer for 10 minutes.  Stir in half and half.

Pour over cooked pasta, stir and serve!
