Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) smoked sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

8 oz (225g) fettuccine or pasta of choice

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups fresh spinach

1 tablespoon olive oil

Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced sausage and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to brown slightly and become crispy.

      Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic and dried Italian herbs. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.

          CombineFold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce for about 2 minutes. Then, add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to combine until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

            Finish: Drizzle the dish with olive oil for extra flavor, and adjust seasoning if necessary.

              Serve: Share the garlic butter sausage bites and creamy pasta on plates, garnishing with red pepper flakes (if using) and chopped parsley for freshness.
