Sausage Bowtie Pasta with Garlic Butter & Parmesan

Ingredients

• 1 lb mild Italian ground sausage

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 red onion, finely diced

• 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, crushed or finely minced

• 1 tsp dried poultry seasoning

• Salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

• 1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream, depending on taste

• 1 lb bowtie pasta (farfalle)

• ½ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook bowtie pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.

3. Brown the Sausage:

Add the ground sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up as it browns, until fully cooked through and slightly crispy at the edges (about 8–10 minutes).

4. Add Garlic & Seasoning:

Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle in the poultry seasoning, a pinch of salt, and plenty of black pepper.

5. Add Cream:

Stir in the heavy cream and warm all the way through for a few minutes while stirring.

6. Toss It All Together:

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sausage and garlic butter mixture.

7. Finish with Cheese:

Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan. Serve hot, topped with extra cheese if desired.

ENJOY!!!
