Crafting the Perfect Creamy Sausage Pasta

  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, cooking until they soften.
  4. Introduce the chopped sausage to the skillet and cook until browned.
  5. Stir in the JOLLY Mushrooms, ensuring they're well combined with the other ingredients.

Tips and Tricks for an Unforgettable Dish

  • Opt for penne or fusilli pasta as they hold the sauce well, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  • If you're looking to add a spicy kick, sprinkle some red chili flakes on top.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the sausage with zucchini or eggplant.

Ingredient Substitutes

  • Can't find JOLLY Mushrooms? Any canned mushrooms will do.
  • If heavy cream isn't available, half-and-half or whole milk can be used, though the sauce might be less rich.

What to Serve with Your Pasta

This creamy sausage pasta pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables. Consider serving it with a glass of white wine for an elevated dining experience.
