Creamy Sausage and Rigatoni Pasta

This is another dish my mom used to make when I was a young'un. I made it last night and yes it was pasta and no I don't think Jeff ate it! I had to go to work so I don't know what he ate, I do know when I got home at 10 he was heating up a bowl of Taco Soup.  He just is not a pasta dude, and I love a good bowl of pasta...I told y'all he's a weird one now when it comes to food! I guess I was pushing it considering the night before I had made the Steak and Stir-Fry Noodles. I didn't realize it was 2 pasta dishes 2 nights in a row...Oh well I could eat pasta any night of the week! I made some cheese garlic biscuits to go along with it and I ran out of my white cooking wine so the glass I was drinking of wine (Oops got caught drinking wine again, ok I admit, when I cook I like to have a glass of wine, it makes everything that much better and tunes out the screaming, starving kids in the background!) I just used some of that in place of it and it turned out to be really good! So I think any white wine would do for this dish! And you can sneak in a little sip while your at it...

5 links of Italian sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained
1 cup heavy whipping cream
14 oun Rigatoni noodles, cooked and drained
1/2 cup white wine
A sip of white wine, I'm kidding....well kinda...
6 oun of shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tbs dried parsley
1/2 tbs oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp nutmeg (Don't leave this one out, its amazing in it!)
1 tbs butter

Heat butter in a pan until melted, add in your Italian sausage (casings removed) and cook until brown and drain. Make your noodles according to directions. While your noodles are cooking up, in the same pan you used to make your sausage in, add your cream, wine, garlic powder and parsley. Simmer for 5 minutes. Mix in your crumbled sausage and heat another 2 minutes. Drain your noodles. Pour your cream/sausage mixture into the noodles and stir over low heat. Add in your parmesan cheese and stir until it is melted all throughout. And last but not least, your nutmeg! Add it in and stir once again! All done! Super easy, huh?

Get ya a big ole bowl of this creamy goodness!

It is heaven in a bowl!
