Ingredients
Scale:
12 oz penne pasta
1 lb BBQ sausages
4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Extra Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the BBQ sausages and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until browned. Remove from skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked penne and sliced sausages to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.
