Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta (fettuccine or penne recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. If using wine, pour it in and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss well to coat. If the sauce seems too thick, add the reserved pasta water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage instead of mild.
  • Do not skip reserving the pasta water; its starch helps the sauce cling perfectly to the pasta.
  • If you omit the wine, substitute it with an equal amount of chicken broth.
