Ingredients to make Pasta with sausages and cheese:
- 2 cooked sausages
- 80 grams of Macaroni
- ½ tablespoon of butter
- 40 grams of Parmesan cheese
- 2 pinches of freshly ground Pepper
- 2 tablespoons of water used to cook the pasta
How to make Pasta with sausage and cheese:
Step 1
Once we have all the ingredients in the kitchen, at hand,
the first thing we will do is cut the sausages into slices and sauté them in
the pan with a pinch of pepper until golden brown. Set aside.
I have used Frankfurt type sausages of the big ones, but you
can use any type, the ideal is that they are cooked sausages that are those
that we always have at home and that we can obtain easily.
Step 2
On the other hand we cook the pasta in the traditional way,
with boiling water and a pinch of salt. The cooking time is usually about 5-7
minutes, but this changes depending on the type of pasta, so to make sure it is
al dente, always check the manufacturer's instructions on the package.
My idea was always to make macaroni with Frankfurt sausage but if you want to use another type of short pasta you can.
Step 3
When the pasta is ready, drain, transfer to a bowl and mix
with the butter, adding a good pinch of freshly ground pepper and a little of
the cooking broth.
Step 4
Then add the Parmesan cheese, which should be powdered, and
mix well until a slightly liquid paste is formed. If we see that it is too
thick we can add a little more cooking water.
The idea is to form a cheese and pepper sauce like the one
in the caccio e pepe pasta recipe.
Step 5
Finally add the sausages and stir again. Taste for seasoning
and add more cheese or pepper to taste to make the pasta with sausages perfect!
Step 6
As you can see, this pasta dish with sausages and cheese
doesn't take more than 10 minutes to be ready and the truth is that it is
spectacular! The secret touch of this recipe is undoubtedly the pepper, but you
can also add a little mustard if you don't like pepper.
And other super original recipes that you can make with
sausages are the orange sausages or the sausage appetizer with hot sauce, I
hope you enjoyed the recipe!
