Tips for the Best Garlic Sausage Alfredo Rigatoni
- Choose quality Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and gives the sauce a smooth texture.
- Add a kick: For a spicier version, try adding red pepper flakes or using spicy garlic sausage.
- Experiment with herbs: Adding a touch of basil or thyme can add depth to the flavor.
- Avoid boiling the sauce: Keeping the heat moderate prevents the cream from curdling and helps maintain a smooth, rich texture.
Variations
- Vegetable Add-Ins: Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes pair beautifully with the rich Alfredo sauce and sausage.
- Cheese Substitutes: Substitute half of the Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a slightly sharper flavor.
- Swap the Sausage: Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or even smoked sausage can add different flavors.
