Peasant Pasta

1 lb. sausage
1-2 cloves minced garlic
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 30 oz. can crushed tomatoes (I usually buy the Italian with the basil)
1/2 bag of frozen peas
sprinkle of dried basil
1 c. cream
1 16 oz. bag rigatoni

Drizzle skillet with extra virgin olive oil. Add garlic and sausage and brown. Cook rigatoni in a pot of boiling water with salt. When sausage is browned, drain and add crushed tomatoes and chicken bouillon. Cook on med-low heat until tomatoes bubble. Add frozen peas and dried basil. Let simmer until peas are cooked. Stir in cream. Stir in drained pasta and serve. You can sprinkle cheese (any kind) on top of each indivual serving. I have also made this with hamburger instead of the sausage. My family likes the sausage better though.
