- Add sausage and herbs, stirring often, using the back of a spoon to break up the sausage.
- When sausage has thoroughly cooked and liquids are mostly reduced, add the cream, seasoning with salt and pepper per taste and stir until it reaches a simmer.
- Add sauce to pasta; placing the pot back on a medium-low burner, stirring gently to incorporate sauce and ensure proper heat distribution.
- Remove pasta from heat; stir in the Parmigiano cheese and serve immediately.
