  1. Cook sausage in a Dutch oven over medium heat until browned, about 15 minutes.

  2. Stir in parsley and cook for about 2 minutes.

  3. Stir in white wine and cook until the wine has nearly evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in heavy cream, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in marinara sauce and water and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce for 1 hour.

  7. Serve pasta and sauce topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
