In just 35 minutes, you’ll have a dish that’s as comforting as a warm hug. Cook penne pasta until it’s al dente (or until Al needs a dentist). Brown the Italian sausage, then set it aside. Sauté shallots and garlic until soft, then mix in the pasta, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Add the sausage back in, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley and cherry tomatoes. Serve up this creamy, dreamy pasta and enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage ground, no casings
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 tbsp parsley chopped
- ½ box of penne
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until Al needs a Dentist…al dente, right? Drain it.
- Add the sausage and cook until browned, 10-15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until soft, 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta, cream, and cheese to the skillet. Stir until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet and stir together.
- Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and cherry tomatoes.
- Eat it!

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.

His first manuscript was composed entirely of punctuation marks and confused sketches. He's since published "Not Bukowski" (poems that don't rhyme) and "Slop and Swell from a Festering Mind" (essays so concerning that bookstores check on his wellbeing). He once spent three hours photographing a rare bird that turned out to be a plastic bag, and he's the only person banned from church bake sales for "weaponized brownies." Inheriting absurdism from Vonnegut and Adams, sprawling narratives from Irving, and weaponized failure from Moore, he writes about conflicted everymen struggling through supernatural chaos.
He has two new, offbeat novels waiting foran agent or a publisher: "Truth Tastes Like Pennies" and "Elliot Nessie."
He remains unconvinced that birds aren't surveillance drones.
