Notes

  • Can I use milk or half n half in place of cream?Yes! you may need to add a little cream cheese to thicken the sauce, but it's totally doable.
  • How do I know if my pasta is cooked?Take a piece out of the pan. Al dente pasta will feel firm, not crunchy when you bite down with your front teeth. 
  • Can I use any kind of sausage? Yes! Any fully cooked sausage will work well.
  • Can I double this?Yes, you can, and yes, you totally should. If you have a bigger family than me, or you just love leftovers - double/triple/quadruple away!
