Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb halal beef sausage cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz pasta of choice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef sausage pieces and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet and allow it to melt.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Avoid letting the garlic brown.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Let the cream gently simmer for 2–3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Season the creamy garlic pasta sauce with salt and black pepper. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a small amount of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Add the cooked pasta and sausage back to the skillet. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
  • Let the Garlic Butter Sausage Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta warm together for another 1–2 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Choose a halal-certified beef sausage with a savory Italian-style seasoning blend when available.
