While the pasta is cooking, remove the casings from the spicy Italian sausages, and brown and crumble them in a large skillet over medium heat, as if cooking ground beef.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the sausage in the skillet, and saute for 2-3 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
4
Pour the entire can of Italian style diced tomatoes and the tomato sauce into the skillet, stirring well, and let it heat through.
5
Pour in the heavy cream, stir to combine, and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. The longer you cook the sauce, the thicker it will become.

Mix the sausage sauce with the cooked penne pasta, then serve.
