Garlic Sausage Alfredo Rigatoni


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

  1. Vegetable Add-Ins: Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes pair beautifully with the rich Alfredo sauce and sausage.
  2. Cheese Substitutes: Substitute half of the Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a slightly sharper flavor.
  3. Swap the Sausage: Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or even smoked sausage can add different flavors.
