→ For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta
06 -
225g of your favorite pasta
07 -
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
08 -
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
09 -
1 cup of heavy cream
10 -
1 cup of Parmesan cheese, shredded
11 -
Salt and pepper, adjust seasoning as needed
12 -
Chopped parsley for sprinkling on top
# Instructions:
01 -
Follow the package instructions and cook the pasta until it's firm but cooked through. Drain, then set it aside.
02 -
Heat up 4 spoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Toss in the turkey sausage slices and cook them until all sides are brown, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Take them out and keep them on the side.
03 -
In the same pan, toss in the garlic you minced earlier and the dried thyme. Let it cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until you smell that garlic aroma.
04 -
Pour the heavy cream into the pan, turn to a gentle simmer, and mix in the Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Keep stirring until it starts to thicken—around 3 to 5 minutes.
05 -
Add the drained pasta into the pan and toss it well so the creamy sauce coats it completely.
06 -
Put the browned sausage pieces back in, carefully mixing them into the pasta and sauce combination.
07 -
Sprinkle chopped parsley over everything and serve right away while it's warm.
# Notes:
01 -
A small amount of pasta water can be saved to thin out the sauce if it gets too thick.
