BEST Sausage Pasta Recipe

olive oil (or mild vegetable oil)

lb sausage

onion

garlic

Italian seasoning

chicken broth (or vegetable stock)

chunky tomato sauce

salt (or more if desired)

oz dry bowtie pasta

heavy cream

Parmesan cheese (grated)

parsley

BROWN THE SAUSAGE: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, and lightly brown the sausage on both sides, about 4-6 minutes. Remove excess oil!

COOK THE VEGGIES: Reduce the heat to medium and sweat the diced onions for about 3 minutes, occasionally stirring (don&#39;t let them brown). Add the garlic and let cook for about 1 minute, stirring once and a while.

ADD INGREDIENTS AND PASTA: Stir in the Italian seasoning for about 10 seconds and add the broth little by little while stirring to scrape the bottom of the pan. Stir in the tomato sauce and the salt, then add the pasta. If you enjoy spicy foods or are adding a mild sausage, add a pinch of red pepper flakes!

COOK THE ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PASTA: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for about 13-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Make sure to stir gently once in a while to prevent the pasta from sticking. If needed, add some extra broth or water (just enough for the pasta to cook).

Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese if you want. Stir until creamy and homogeneous (and there are no chunks of cream cheese). Adjust the salt!

GARNISH: Let the pasta sit for about 2-3 minutes in order for the cream to heat through and the sauce to thicken. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and parsley on top and serve.

One pot pasta? I'm in! Thank you! I wish you and your family happy and prosperous 2024. Denise !

Made this for lunch using chicken and apple sausage and fresh herbs from our garden. Kids and I loved it.

I normally never leave reviews for recipes, but this one is a knock out. Absolutely delicious. It was so easy to make too. Will be making again, thanks you!

I am a single Dad of 2, struggling to put meals on the table.  This recipe was quick, easy and so delicious. It became one of my kids' favorite dinners. Thanks!

Wasn’t sure what to make with theses Portuguese sausages so i made this recipe and was absolutely amazing and used a tad bit of red wine vinegar awesome

Congrats on winning.  You deserve it.
