Italian Sausage pasta

1 package bow tie pasta
1 pound italian sausage casings removed
1/2 cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drain slightly
3 fresh tomatoes seeded and chopped
1 cup heavy cream (or if you dont have heavy cream 3/4 cup milk + 1/3 cup melted butter mixed together)
Salt to taste

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente; drain.
2. Heat a large deep skillet. Cook sausage until sausage is evenly brown. Stir in onion and garlic and cook until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, cream and salt. Simmer until mixture thickens; 8-10 minutes. (If needed you can always do a couple of tsps of cornstarch in a little bit of milk to help thicken the sauce)
3. Stir cooked pasta into sauce and heat through.

This goes great with breadsticks!
