Creamy Sausage Pasta
This Creamy Sausage Pasta recipe was actually one that Mr. Gracious and I came up with on accident. We were brainstorming easy dinner recipes because I wasn’t really in the mood to cook that day. I told him I wanted a creamy, cheesy pasta for dinner, and Mr. Gracious believes it’s not a real meal unless there’s meat, so he scrounged up some Italian sausage from the freezer, and VOILA! This tasty Creamy Sausage Pasta recipe was born! Teamwork, people. We’ve made this easy pasta with sausage a couple more times since then because it really THAT easy and THAT good.
So if you were on a mission to find a simple and delicious recipe for dinner, you found it! This one’s really good!

I made this recipe today and it was really great! And it came together so quickly. I never would have thought of combining a pasta sauce and alfredo sauce, but the flavor is amazing. Definitely a keeper recipe!
