Creamy Sausage Fettucinne


1 lb Italian sausage
1 cup whipping cream
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp dried sage
3/4 lb fettuccine noodles
1/2 cup grated parmesan

Brown sausage in skillet.  Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes.  Add canned tomatoes and sage.  Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. 

Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water according to package directions.  Drain pasta but reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. 

When sauce is ready, add pasta to the sauce and toss over medium heat until sauce coats pasta.  Add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and toss.  Add cooking water as needed if the mixture is too dry.  Season with salt and pepper.  Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle additional parmesan on top and serve.
