Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Not all sausages are created equal. When choosing smoked sausage for this recipe, look for a variety that is flavorful and has a good amount of fat. This will help to keep the sausage moist and juicy while it cooks.
  • Use a Dutch oven or large skillet: A Dutch oven or large skillet is essential for this recipe because it allows you to easily brown the sausage and cook the pasta in the same pot. This saves time and cleanup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the pasta, be sure to not overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Use a flavorful pasta sauce: The pasta sauce is a key component of this dish, so be sure to choose one that you enjoy. A simple tomato sauce is always a good option, but you can also try a pesto sauce, Alfredo sauce, or even a creamy cheese sauce.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables are a great way to add extra flavor and nutrition to this dish. Some good options include onions, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach.

Conclusion:

Smoked sausage with pasta is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious smoked sausage with pasta that your whole family will enjoy.
