06 -
225g of your favorite pasta shape
07 -
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
08 -
A handful of fresh parsley, chopped, for the top
09 -
1 cup of heavy cream

2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
11 -

Salt and pepper to taste
# Instructions:
01 -
Get the pasta cooked to al dente by following the directions on the package. Drain it and keep it aside for later.
02 -
Heat 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pan. Toss in the turkey sausage chunks and cook them on medium heat until they're nicely browned all over, which takes about 5-7 minutes. Set them aside once done.
03 -
In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic and dried thyme for 1-2 minutes until they smell amazing.
04 -
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently. Stir in Parmesan cheese, season it with salt and pepper, and keep stirring till the sauce becomes thick—roughly 3-5 minutes.
05 -
Add the cooked pasta straight into that creamy sauce, mixing it all up so everything’s coated well.
06 -
Gently add the browned sausage pieces back into the pan and combine them with the pasta and sauce.
07 -
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over everything and serve it fresh and hot!
# Notes:
01 -
Save a little pasta water in case you need to adjust the sauce consistency later.
