Ingredients:
- 8 oz. pasta (your choice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage (can be mild or spicy, your call)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until thoroughly browned. Make sure to crumble it up as it cooks for the perfect texture.
- Throw in those mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are fabulous and soft — about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine all that goodness. Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it’s all melted and smooth. Season it with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Finally, toss in the cooked pasta, giving it a good mix to coat everything in that creamy sauce. Let it cook for another couple of minutes to heat through.
- Serve right away, garnished with fresh parsley to give it that extra pop of color and freshness. Enjoy!
