SPICY SAUSAGE PAPPARDELLE

One of our favorite dishes is an easy pasta that we throw together regularly with just a few ingredients; SPICY SAUSAGE PAPPARDELLE.

The sauce for this recipe is super simple and basic. It starts with sautéing some chopped sweet yellow onion in good olive oil.

Once they’re softened and translucent, minced garlic is tossed in with the spicy Italian sausage. White wine glazes the pan and diced tomatoes are added to start simmering.

After the tomatoes are softened, reserved pasta water and half n half are poured in to increase the sauciness and creaminess.

In other words, those things are done to make the most divine sausage sauce ever.

A few seasonings are added and then the Spicy Sausage Pappardelle sauce is ready! 

SO FAST!

If you have thirty minutes, you have time to make this hearty dish that’s perfect for these chilly temps and leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Pappardelle is the perfect pasta for this sauce because it pairs wonderfully with the meatiness and laps up all the sauce. Any pasta will work but this has been our absolute favorite lately. We find it at Trader Joes and it tastes like it was just freshly made.

Topped with parsley and grated parmesan, this weeknight dish feels like you’re dining in Italy.

Go ahead and serve it with a glass of red wine. 

We also pick up our favorite red wines at Trader Joes: Velvet Moon and Copper & Thief.

Either one will suffice with this Spicy Sausage Pappardelle.
