Italian Sausage and Mushroom Pasta

This delicious meal is very similar to alfredo, but the sauce is more like a gravy. The mushroom sauce is rich and flavorful. All the pan drippings from both the mushrooms and the Italian sausage goes into the rich, flavorful sauce. Just add salad and it’s a meal!

Making the Mushroom Pasta

Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet and add the mushrooms and rosemary. I like to use a crimini mushroom.

Cook on medium-high heat until the mushrooms are browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. Discard the rosemary. (This is where I steal a mushroom taste!)

Cook the sausage in the same pan as the mushrooms until they are cooked through. Place in the oven on low to keep warm.

Pour the broth into the same pan to deglaze and bring to a simmer. Stir in half of the parmesan and garlic granules and continue to simmer until it is all blended together.

    Of course, I have to put my spin on it because hubby and I are not fond of fennel and it is always in Italian seasoning. So I used Andouille sausage instead and it was fabulous.
