Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (substitute with chicken or turkey sausage if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove casing from Italian sausage, crumble into the skillet, and cook until browned (5–7 minutes).
  3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent (3–4 minutes). Then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer gently before stirring in heavy cream.

  6. Toss in cooked fettuccine until well coated with sauce. Serve immediately topped with fresh parsley.
