Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make this flavorful pasta skillet:

• 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini work best to hold the sticky sauce)
• 1 lb sausage, sliced (Italian, smoked, or chicken sausage all work well)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add 8 ounces of pasta (penne or rotini recommended) and cook according to the package directions until al dente. This means the pasta should be tender but still have a slight bite in the center.

Once cooked, drain the pasta using a colander and set it aside while you prepare the rest of the dish. No need to rinse the pasta—you want that surface starch to help the sauce cling better.

Step 2: Brown the Sausage
