Ingredients

Quantity	Ingredients
340 g	Penne pasta
1 tbsp	Olive oil
225 g	Smoked sausage, sliced
1 tbsp	Unsalted butter
2	Garlic cloves, minced
1 cup	Heavy cream
1/2 cup	Parmesan cheese, grated
To taste	Salt and black pepper

Method

Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil.
Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente (firm to the bite, typically 9-11 minutes).
Drain the pasta, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water, and set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until it releases its aroma but doesn’t brown.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring constantly. Continue to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens to a silky texture (about 3-4 minutes). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Toss to coat it in the Alfredo sauce. Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss gently until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and red chili flakes (if using) for an extra burst of flavour, and mix well.
Divide the pasta into serving bowls or plates. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
