I Love That There Is Sausage With Ever Bite Of Pasta
I definitely have an opinion about the ratio of ingredients in recipes. It needs to be right. A sandwich can taste totally different if there’s too much of one ingredient on it, even when the ingredients are the same. Right?
That’s what I’m talking about and this Creamy Sausage Spaghetti is a perfect example of that! Not one bite of pasta while your fishing around for the sausage, the sausage is more part of the sauce, crumbled up very small so it goes all in every bite.
How To Make Creamy Sausage Spaghetti
OK, so now that I think you’ve got the idea – here’s how you make it.
Brown the sausage, let it cool and then transfer it to a food processor. Yep, food processor. No way you can crumble it this fine with a spoon – the machine can do it better.
How Long Does This Sausage Spaghetti Take To Cook?
Now add the sausage back to the same skillet with the onions, garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Pour in crushed tomatoes and stir it all together.
You’ll need to cook it down for about 20 minutes or so, but in the meantime you can boil the spaghetti and drain it so it’s ready and waiting for you when the sauce is done.
Pour in the cream…this is CREAMY Sausage Spaghetti after all…then add a few handfuls of frozen peas.
Only a few more minutes and you’re on your way to this amazing, comforting bowl of sausage pasta goodness.
