Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cream
=======================================
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb. sweet Italian sausage links, casings removed, crumbled

Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and
crushed red pepper. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, stirring
frequently, about 7 minutes. Add onion and garlic to skillet and cook
until onion is tender and sausage is light brown, stirring
