Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fully cooked apple chicken sausage links, cut into rounds (I used Johnsonville)
  • 1/2 lb fettuccine noodles
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 green onions, chopped (save one for garnish)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup frozen green peas
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, shredded (extra for garnish)
  • 4 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Add pasta to a pot of boiling water and cook according to package instructions.
  2. Add olive oil to a pan and when heated add sausage and mushrooms. Let brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.
  3. Add onion and garlic and let cook until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add peas, chicken broth, heavy cream, and plenty of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce.
  5. Add cooked pasta to pan and mix well until everything is coated in cream sauce. 
  6. Remove from heat and add parmesan cheese and mix until combined and melted. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Garnish with remaining onion, parsley, and a sprinkle more of parmesan.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread and a side salad for an easy yet elegant meal.
