Yummy Penne Pasta in Cream Sauce with Sausage

This yummy meal was delivered to us after the birth of our newest edition, Reilly. It was so tasty and I don't want to lose the recipe. Here it is:

1 T butter
1 T olive oil
2 cups sliced onions
2 1/2 t chopped garlic
1 lb mild Italian sausage
1/2 lb hot Italian sausage
2/3 cup dry white wine

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup fresh parsley
S & P to taste
1 cup grated parm
1 lb mini penne pasta

Melt butter with oild in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until golden brown and tender, about 7 min. Add the sausage and saute until golden brown and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks, about 7 min. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Add the wine to the skillet with drained meat and boil until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 2 min. Add whole can of tomatoes and simmer about 3 min. Add cream and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 min. Stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serves 6

This freezes well too. So why not double it and make 1 meal for tonight and freeze the double portion in a gallon size ziploc bag.
