Garlic Sausage Alfredo Rigatoni is a creamy and comforting pasta dish that combines tender rigatoni, flavorful garlic sausage, and a rich Alfredo sauce. Perfect for family dinners or a cozy night in, this dish is sure to impress with its delightful flavors and easy preparation.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 4 garlic sausage links, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Boil the rigatoni in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic sausage and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine: Add the cooked rigatoni and browned sausage into the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy Alfredo sauce.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot!

Notes

  • For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or broccoli for added nutrition.
