Ingredients
- 1 pound 16 ounce dry pasta
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic pressed
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 oz fully cooked smoked sausage sliced
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain.
- While pasta cooks, add butter and garlic to a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until butter is melted and garlic begins to brown.
- Slowly add in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens on medium heat, about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Add in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (optional). Stir in sliced sausage and add to pot with drained pasta. Stir together, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Buy Parmesan cheese in blocks. Grate it with a box grater or shredder before adding to the recipe. Freshly grated cheese melts much better than packaged shredded cheese.
- Pasta- I use bowtie pasta, but any noodle is perfectly fine!
- Want more heat? Sprinkle a few more red pepper flakes over individual portions of pasta before serving.
- Spicy Italian Sausage is delicious in this sausage alfredo to add more heat, too.
