This is just simply delish! The last time I made this, my 5 year old son ate four helpings of it.

1 med. onion, finely chopped

1 c. dry white wine

1/2 c. heavy cream
1/8 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. fresh ground nutmeg
Coarse salt
Black pepper
1 lb. penne, cooked al dente


Directions

Heat large, deep nonstick skillet over med. high heat.

Transfer sausage to paper towel lined plate.


Drain fat from skillet and return pan to stove.


Add remaining oil.

Reduce wine by half, about 2 min.
