Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.
Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Beef Sausages

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced beef sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat.
Pour in a little reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
Return the beef sausages to the pan and mix everything together.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with extra Parmesan on top.

Notes

Don’t Overcook the Pasta – Al dente pasta holds up best in the sauce.
Use Freshly Grated Parmesan – It melts better and tastes richer.
Save Pasta Water – It helps make the sauce extra creamy and smooth.
Adjust the Thickness – If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more pasta water.
