12 oz. package bow tie pasta
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and pepper flakes.

Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is tender and sausage is light brown,
stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
Blend together, tomatoes, cream, salt, and cornstarch in a bowl.
Add to sausage mixture and simmer about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Prepare pasta according to package directions, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
Drain; serve on plate or flat bowl with sausage and cream mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese.

Notes*** You can substitute a can of stewed tomatoes or regular tomatoes for Rotel. You might want to drain grease off before adding the cream mixture.
You can also substitute shrimp for the sausage if you prefer, or even do a half and half mixture with the two.
