Pasta With Sausage, Basil And Mustard

• 1 lb penne pasta
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 8 hot Italian sausages, meat removed from casings and crumbled
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons grainy mustard
• 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 cup thinly sliced basil leaves

1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente and drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large deep skillet. Add the sausage meat and brown over moderately high heat, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the wine and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the cream, mustard and crushed red pepper and simmer for 2 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the pasta and basil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with some parmesan. Serve immediately with some lovely crusty bread.
