How to Make Creamy Italian Sausage Pasta
- Place 1 lb Italian sausages in a pot with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook until thoroughly cooked through (about 10-12 minutes), then remove and let cool slightly.
- While sausages cook, mince 2 cloves of garlic.
- Once cooled, grill the sausages to brown the outer casing (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Meanwhile, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil (or butter) to prevent sticking.
- Add 1 lb pasta (your choice of shape) and cook according to package directions, until just under al dente.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 cup Alfredo sauce over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup sliced Kalamata olives and 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained). Stir to combine.
- Slice the cooled sausages into 1/4-inch rounds and add them to the sauce.
- Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce and sausages. Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately, topped with 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley and grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
- Serve with garlic bagel chips or your favorite side dish.
