Sausage Mushroom Pasta Recipe
Directions
- In a large skillet, brown sausage until done, drain and set aside.
- Cook pasta noodles until al dente, drain, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, add garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes and the sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, until mushrooms are slightly softened. Add cooked sausage and pasta back to the skillet, toss to mix, and combine.
- Pour in broth and cream, stirring to blend with the sausage mixture. Bring to a low boil, stirring consistently. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add in fresh basil, 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until sauce is well combined and heated throughout.

You can use any of your favorite short pasta noodles. Gemelli, Rigatoni, Farfalle, Rotelle, and Macaroni would all work great as well.
