Sausage and Pasta in a Browned Butter Sauce

Another tasty dinner in the Lyon household tonight. I am having some great luck with sausage dinners and recipes lately. Everyone cleared their plates and even asked for seconds with tonight’s Sausage and Pasta in a Browned Butter Sauce. This meal seriously got thrown together in about 15-20 minutes from start to finish. I love fast meals that end up being a hit!

Prep time: 3 mins

Cook time: 15 mins

Total time: 18 mins

Serves: 6

Ingredients

5-6 sausages - I used the Artisan Fresh Mozzarella & Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage from Sam's Club
1 lb Pasta of your choice, but I like the Ronzoni Garden Delight Pastas
6 Tbs butter
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp thyme
½ tsp basil
½ tsp garlic powder
2 Tbs milk
½ cup fresh parmesan cheese + more for topping

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to boil and add your pasta. Cool until al dente.
While pasta is cooking, slice sausages in ¾" thick slices and saute in a little olive oil.
After you have your pasta and sausage underway, begin preparing your sauce by melting butter in a small saucepan, with salt.
Once butter is completely melted, add thyme, basil and garlic powder. Cook for about 5 minutes, until butter starts to brown slightly.
Add milk and immediately remove pan from heat.
Drain pasta and put back into pot.
Pour sauce over the cooked pasta and combine with ½ cup fresh parmesan cheese.
Serve with cooked sausage over the top, and top with more parmesan cheese.
