Ingredients

2 (12 oz) packages kielbasa sausage, sliced

10 oz pasta (cellentani or any shape)

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

1 1/4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Extra Parmesan cheese, for serving

Dried parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Slice the kielbasa sausage into bite-sized rounds.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sausage. Cook until browned on both sides.
  4. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 3–4 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Add shredded Parmesan, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with sauce and sausage.
  8. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and dried parsley before serving.

Notes

Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.

Add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra color and nutrition.

Smoked andouille sausage can be used for a spicier flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Add a splash of milk or cream when reheating to restore creaminess.
