Notes
This Pasta Creamy Sausage recipe is quite flexible. If you don't have Italian sausage on hand, you can use any other type of sausage you prefer. If you're not a fan of spicy food, feel free to omit the red pepper flakes. If you're a cheese lover, sprinkle some parmesan on top for an extra layer of flavor. This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or some garlic bread.
