Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces pasta of your choice (fettuccine or penne works great)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
For those who need some substitutions, feel free to use turkey sausage for a lighter option or add some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. The recipe is versatile and forgiving, just like the love that goes into every meal.
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausages from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, letting it melt into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the sausage to the skillet, then add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Remember, cooking is an art, not a science. Feel free to adjust the seasoning or add your own twist to the dish. The best meals are those made with a pinch of love and a dash of creativity.
