Description

Imagine a comforting bowl of creamy pasta, where each strand is coated in a luscious, velvety sauce. This isn't just any pasta dish; it's a celebration of textures and flavors, designed to tantalize your taste buds with every bite. The star of the show is sliced Italian sausage, offering a savory foundation that you can tailor to your preference.

Opt for spicy sausage to ignite your palate with a pleasant warmth, or choose mild for a more subtle, comforting experience. The sausage is browned to perfection, releasing its rich, meaty essence into the creamy base. Instead of traditional wheat pasta, this recipe features delicate ribbons of baked zucchini.

These strands, tender yet firm, provide a delightful textural contrast to the creamy sauce and hearty sausage. The zucchini adds a subtle sweetness and freshness, balancing the richness of the other components. Baking the zucchini concentrates its natural flavors, while ensuring it maintains its structural integrity when tossed with the sauce.

The creamy sauce itself is a harmonious blend of richness and depth. It clings beautifully to the zucchini ribbons and sausage slices, ensuring that each bite is an explosion of flavor. The sauce is carefully seasoned to complement the sausage, enhancing its savory notes without overpowering the other ingredients.

It’s the kind of sauce that makes you want to lick the bowl clean. To complete this culinary masterpiece, a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese is added as a final flourish. The salty, nutty parmesan not only enhances the overall flavor profile but also adds a touch of visual appeal.

The grated cheese melts slightly into the hot sauce, creating little pockets of cheesy goodness that are simply irresistible. This creamy pasta dish is a symphony of flavors and textures, offering a satisfying and wholesome meal that is both comforting and exciting. It's perfect for a cozy night in, or any occasion where you want to impress with a dish that is both delicious and visually stunning.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a vegetable peeler to create wide, flat zucchini noodles. Spread on a seasoned sheet tray and bake for 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly dry. Toss and cook longer if needed. Set aside to cool.
    2.
    Slice Italian sausage and cook in a pan over medium-high heat until browned and slightly charred on all sides. Undercook slightly if desired, to finish cooking in the sauce.
    3.
    Transfer sausage to a bowl, reserving excess fat in the pan. Add olive oil to the pan and heat over low heat. Cook garlic for 30 seconds, then whisk in chicken broth and cream.
    4.
    Bring the pan to a simmer. Whisk in tomato paste until emulsified. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped basil. Return the sausage to the cream sauce and simmer until thickened and sausage is hot.
    5.
    Serve the sausage pasta over the zucchini noodles. Optionally, stir the noodles directly into the sauce pan off the heat before serving.
