12 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced
1 lb (16 oz.) dry pasta
3 cloves garlic, pressed
½ c. unsalted butter
3 c. heavy cream
1 ½ c. grated Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
How to make Sausage Alfredo Pasta
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the pasta. Drain when done.
Step 2: In the meantime, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add the garlic and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the garlic starts to brown.
Step 3: Into the skillet, gradually add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Let everything simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat or until the sauce has thickened, stirring often.
Step 4: Then, add in the Parmesan along with the red pepper flakes (if using). Add the sliced sausage and stir. Next, add the pasta and toss well.
Step 5: Serve the Sausage Alfredo Pasta right away. Enjoy!
Notes:
I do not recommend package shredded cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts way better. What I do is purchased Parmesan cheese in blocks and use a box grater or shredder to grate it right before adding the cheese to the dish.
For this recipe, you use any noodles.
Over individual portions of pasta before serving, sprinkle a little more red pepper flakes for more heat.
Spicy Italian Sausage is also amazing to use in this recipe.
