For a richer flavor, use sweet Italian sausage. For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage. Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauce, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more heavy cream or pasta water to thin it out. Store leftover pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
