Ingredients
  

Pasta and Sauce Ingredients
  • 12 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine) Choose your preferred type
  • 1 pound Italian sausage Mild or spicy, your choice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is best
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Once the sausage is cooked, stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes as you stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring the sauce is well blended and creamy.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, mixing well to coat the noodles. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Plate your delicious creamy pasta, topping with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Enjoy right away!

Notes

To make your meal even more delightful, consider serving this creamy pasta with a side of garlic bread and a fresh garden salad. A glass of white wine can also complement the flavor profile.
