Indulge in a delightful blend of smoky sausage, sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, and creamy pasta. This dish brings together comfort and zest in every bite, making it a family favorite.

Ingredients:

12 oz pasta (penne or rotini works well)
1 lb smoked sausage (such as kielbasa or andouille), sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:

Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Sausage:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour in the BBQ sauce and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Combine Everything:

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to ensure each piece is well-coated with the sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve:

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions. Serve warm and enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.
