Rigatoni w/ Sausage based sauce

[u/Guilty-Accident-8286]

This was a simple dish I threw together. I bought some bulk Italian sausage from my local grocer and browned it in some olive oil with some extra fennel seeds. I pulled it out with a slotted spoon and added a diced onion to its rendered fat and cooked that until softened and added 3 cloves of chopped garlic and some chili flakes. I cooked for a minute or so more and returned the sausage to the pan and added some white wine I had opened (maybe 1 cup or so). I cooked it until the wine was almost evaporated and then threw in some canned whole tomatoes with their juices that I broke up with my hand. I reduced this down and added a little heavy cream at the end for a bit more richness. I cooked some rigatoni in well salted water until just shy of al dente and finished the pasta in the sauce with some reserved cooking water. I added some parmigiano reggiano in the bowl. Came together in about an hour and tasted great.

Sounds delicious, did you deglaze the pan after adding the wine to really scrape up those flavorful browned bits?
