Print Recipe

Savory pasta dish with smoked sausage, creamy Alfredo sauce, and Parmesan, ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 680 g smoked kielbasa sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 285 g dried cellentani pasta or similar short pasta
  • 2.5 g salt
  • 2.5 g ground black pepper
  • 5 g garlic powder
  • 5 g Italian seasoning
  • Dried parsley, for garnish
  • 115 g unsalted butter
  • 30 g minced garlic
  • 310 ml heavy cream
  • 125 g shredded Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Slice the smoked kielbasa into rounds. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the sausage pieces until caramelised and browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt the butter in the same skillet, then add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, continuing to whisk until combined.
  5. Gradually add the shredded Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
  6. Return the drained pasta and browned kielbasa to the skillet. Toss until everything is well coated in the sauce.
  7. Dish onto plates, topping each portion with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of dried parsley.

Notes

For an extra creamy sauce, gently simmer after adding the cheese and avoid boiling. Reserve a small amount of pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce if needed.
