Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sausage and Fettuccine

by

Directions 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

  1. Cook the Pasta: Prepare the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

  2. Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it browns (about 7–8 minutes). Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.

  4. Simmer the Cream: Stir in heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 3–4 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.

  5. Add the Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce.

  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the fettuccine and toss everything together until coated in the creamy sauce. Adjust the consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.

  7. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Why This Recipe Stands Out 🌟

This recipe combines the irresistible flavors of garlic, Parmesan, and savory sausage into a rich, creamy pasta dish that feels like comfort food at its finest. Using high-quality Italian sausage and freshly grated Parmesan ensures maximum flavor, while the red pepper flakes add a subtle heat for those who like a little spice.
