Description

Creamy Marry Me Ditalini Sausage Pasta is a savory and indulgent pasta dish combining tender circle pasta with flavorful sausage and a rich, creamy sauce. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, this easy recipe offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience guaranteed to impress your taste buds and satisfy hunger.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz circle pasta (or ditalini pasta)
  • 1 lb sausage (your choice of mild or spicy pork sausage)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the circle pasta until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet used for the sausage, add a little more olive oil if needed. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and return the cooked sausage to the skillet, combining everything evenly.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss well to coat all the noodles with the creamy sausage sauce. Consider adding red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt.
  • Try adding vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for added nutrition.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes during the sauce preparation for some heat.
