Creamy Sausage and Ramp Pasta

It's a grey day that feels like it's always just on the verge of raining & I've been tried all day. All I want is something easy for dinner that is creamy, warm & comforting.

Ah, that hit the spot.

Creamy Sausage & Ramp Pasta

4 - 6 oz pasta
1/2 T olive oil
8 oz bulk Italian sausage
10 ramps
2/3 c half & half
1/4 c paced, grated parmesan cheese
salt & pepper

Cook pasta according to directions. When cooked drain & set aside.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage & cook through. Slice the ramps; bulbs, stems & leaves, keeping the leaves separate from the bulbs & stems. Add the bulbs & stems to the skillet & sauté for 2 -3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the half & half and cheese. Bring to a simmer & stir for 1 minute. Add the cooked pasta & ramp leaves. Stir until the ramp leaves wilt slightly, you still want them to have a little crunch, and everything is heated through. Season with salt & pepper.
