Description

Ingredients

• 1 lb dry pasta (I use bow ties, but any pasta is fine)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• 3 cups heavy cream
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 12 oz fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced (any variety...I use turkey sausage)

Directions

• 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!
