Creamy Sausage and Tomato Pasta

So, the last couple of night I'd been trying to come up with a dish that I could use some italian sausage that my mom's boyfriend, Papa Joe, gave us.  I sifted through multiple site and recipes until I came upon The Girl Who Ate Everything and had a total "YES!" moment.  Go to the site to see the original recipe.  As I often do, I've tweaked it to suit our tastes and my cooking style.

What I used:
5  Italian sausage - casing removed.
3 shakes of minced, dried onion
2 shakes mince, dried garlic
2 C.  (16 oz) Italian style diced/chopped tomatoes
1 C. (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 C.  heavy cream
2/3 of 16 oz box Penne pasta

1. Cook pasta in salted water al dente, according to package.
2. While pasta is cooking, brown sausage (I used my deep sided 12" fry pan).
3.  Add onion and garlic, saute for a couple minutes.
4.  Pour in tomatoes & tomato sauce, heat through.
5.  Pour in cream and heat through. (Supposedly it'll thicken the longer it simmers, mine did not get very thick in the 3 minutes I let it simmer).
6.  Mix in pasta and serve.

This dish is Picky Five Year Old Approved.
