  • Brown the sausage before adding it to the sauce. This will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan to make the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat. This will help to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce and cook until al dente. This means that the pasta should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Serve the pasta immediately with grated Parmesan cheese.
