Description
Creamy Italian Sausage Fettuccine Pasta is a classic Italian favorite featuring tender fettuccine noodles, spicy Italian sausage, and a creamy, Parmesan-infused sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Brown the sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until it’s browned and cooked through.
3. Add the garlic: Stir the minced garlic into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Make the sauce: Pour the heavy cream and chicken broth into the skillet. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
5. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sausage sauce.
6. Serve and enjoy: Transfer the Creamy Italian Sausage Fettuccine Pasta to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and savor every bite!
Notes
Cook the pasta al dente, following package instructions. Adjust sauce consistency as needed with pasta cooking water. Taste and adjust seasoning based on sausage and broth saltiness.
