Creamy Sausage and Mushroom Pasta
Creamy Sausage Mushroom Pasta – is pure comfort food. A rich and creamy sauce loaded with Italian sausage and mushrooms served over the pasta of your choice, total crowd pleaser!
Sometimes all you need is a few simple ingredients to make an easy yet sensational meal. So if you love mushrooms like I do this is a must make! You can use any pasta of course. And you can use half hot sausage and half sweet Italian sausage if you want a little kick.
We like it spicy so tend to use hot Italian sausage but you can mix hot and sweet together also if you want it just a bit spicy. Use your own judgement. There are some Italian sausages hotter than others too. I remember buying a store brand that was super hot once. Good thing I realized it as I was cooking it and I added a few sweet links also. That was all it needed.
PIN IT!!
This dish is easy to pull together after you come in the door from work and you just don’t feel like making a big fuss over dinner. It takes minimal prep and can be on the table in about 30 minutes. The sauce is light and creamy, with chunks of browned sausage and mushrooms , and finished with parsley and sharp parmesan.
I love mushrooms and sausage together. They just go so well together. I’m sure you will enjoy this dish. It is our of my favorites.
