Dairy-Free Creamy Tomato Pasta with Sausage

Ingredients

• 1 pound Gluten-free pasta
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 can Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/4 cup Fresh parsley

Instructions

1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the 1 pound of gluten-free pasta and cook for 8-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander and set it aside.
2. 2Remove the casings from the 1 pound of Italian sausage. Crumble the sausage meat into a large (10-12 inch) skillet and place it over medium heat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the sausage is fully browned and no pink remains. The internal temperature of the sausage should reach 160°F (71°C).
3. 3Carefully drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the 3 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
4. 4Pour in the 28 ounces of canned crushed tomatoes and the 1 can of coconut milk. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
5. 5Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, where small bubbles consistently break the surface. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
6. 6Add the cooked 1 pound of gluten-free pasta to the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently with tongs or a large spoon until all the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy tomato sauce.
7. 7Serve the pasta immediately in individual bowls. Garnish each serving with the 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, finely chopped.
