Description
Sticky Honey Garlic Sausage Pasta is a comforting, flavor-packed dish that combines sweet honey, savory garlic, and hearty Italian sausage, all tossed with perfectly cooked pasta.
Ingredients
- 8 ounce pasta (penne or fusilli)
- 4 sausages (pork or chicken)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
2. Cook the Sausages: Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage pieces until they’re browned and cooked through.
3. Add the Garlic: Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sticky, sweet, and savory sauce.
6. Season and Garnish: Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, herbal finish.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Sticky Honey Garlic Sausage Pasta warm and savor every delicious bite!
Notes
For a spicier twist, opt for Italian-style sausages. Adjust honey to taste for sweetness. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor.
