Instructions<\/h3>\n
    \n

      \n
    1. Cook pasta to box instructions in well salted water. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    2. In a large skillet (that has a lid) saut\u00e9 the garlic in the olive oil with the heat to medium. <\/li>\n
    3. When the garlic is a pale gold, add the sausage and ground beef.\n
        \n
      1. Break up the sausage and beef to small pieces. <\/li>\n
      2. Cook until the sausage and ground beef are cooked through, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Add both cans of tomatoes.<\/li>\n
      4. Turn the heat up and bring to a boil.<\/li>\n
      5. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for ~20 minutes.\n
          \n
        1. Until the fat separates from the other juices and floats free.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        2. Add the cream and turn up the heat.\n
            \n
          1. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.<\/li>\n
          2. Until the cream is reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          3. Add salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n
          4. Add 1\/4 - 1\/2 cup of parmesan to sauce and stir until melted in.<\/li>\n
          5. Either serve sauce over pasta or add pasta directly to the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Note<\/h3>\n

            Sauce can be prepared ahead of time. It should be reheated gently when pasta is almost cooked.<\/p>\n
