Andrea's Favorite Pasta

1 T olive oil
8 oz sausage links
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 t sage
1/3 t thyme
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 lb pasta, cooked
2/3 c heavy cream
Parmesan cheese

Heat oil and cook sausage. Add spices, cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add cream to sauce. Simmer until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste. Add 2/3 c pasta water and cooked pasta. Heat through. Top with grated Parmesan.

Notes:
I usually use the whole 8 oz carton of cream.
I always forget to save pasta water so I just add 2/3 c water.
I've started substituting a can of tomato sauce for one of the cans of diced tomatoes.
