If you’re looking for a quick and easy week night dinner, look no further!
My Creamy Sausage Alfredo is ready in less than 20 minutes and is beyond delicious.
Why purchase store-bought Alfredo sauce when you can make you’re own in minutes?
First, I took fresh Italian Sausage, cooked them with onion, garlic and spices.
Don’t forget to remove the casing from the sausage.
Secondly, I added heavy cream to the sausage mixture.
Lastly, I added three cheeses!
Yes, the more cheese the happier your belly will be.
I cooked up a batch of penne in salted water.
Don’t forget to drain the penne, then rinse in hot water and drain again.
You can coat the penne in a little olive oil after draining.
Also, cook the penne 2 minutes less than the directions on the package state.
If you don’t like penne you can use your favorite pasta!
Cook the penne for a few minutes in the sauce making sure you coat the pasta well.
Garnish with parsley and serve with a side of garlic bread.
My Jalapeno Cheese Garlic Bread is perfect for this dish!

It’s full of flavor and ready to eat in minutes.
Enjoy!
