Description
Irresistible Marry Me Sausage Pasta – a delicious weeknight delight with rich, creamy sauce, flavorful Italian sausage, and perfectly al dente pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pasta
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Crumble the Italian sausage into the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
- Add the remaining chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked sausage and cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Pairs well with a crisp salad or crusty garlic bread.
