Well now, I gotta tell ya about this dish I stumbled on, it’s called Chicken Apple Sausage Pasta, and let me tell you, it’s as sweet as a summer day, just like picking apples from the tree in the backyard. Now, I’m no chef, but when you throw together chicken sausage and them juicy apples, you’re in for somethin’ good, I tell ya. It’s easy to make and mighty tasty, perfect for any dinner table, even if you’re just feedin’ the family after a long day of work.
Now, first things first, you get yourself some good ol’ chicken apple sausages. These sausages are different from the regular ones. They’ve got a sweet apple taste, a little bit of maple syrup flavor, and the chicken just holds it all together. If you ain’t ever tried ’em, you might think they’re a little strange at first, but once you take a bite, you’ll be hooked. The sweetness of the apple mixes with the savory chicken, and it’s just somethin’ else. Some folks say it tastes like candy, but I ain’t sure if I’d go that far. I reckon it’s more like a savory-sweet combo that’s real delicious.
Here’s what you need for your pasta:
- Chicken apple sausages (the good kind, you know, the ones with real apples in ‘em)
- Some pasta, any kind you like, though I usually go for penne or spaghetti
- A little cream, just enough to make it all smooth and creamy-like
- Some garlic, cause garlic makes everything better, don’t it?
- Olive oil to fry up your sausages and garlic
- Salt and pepper, to taste, though I’m sure you’ve got your own way of doin’ that
- Grated Parmesan cheese, to sprinkle on top when it’s all done
Alright, now for the cookin’ part. First, you get a big ol’ pot of water boilin’ for the pasta. While that’s heatin’ up, you take them sausages and slice ’em up into little rounds, kinda like you’re slicin’ up your potatoes for dinner. You heat up some olive oil in a skillet, not too much, just enough to coat the bottom, and throw them sausage pieces in there. Fry ‘em up good until they’re nice and brown on the outside. Don’t rush it now; you want ‘em to get a little crispy around the edges.
Once your sausages are all cooked up, toss in some garlic and give it a stir. Let the garlic cook for just a minute, till it smells all fragrant-like. Then, pour in a little bit of cream. I ain’t talkin’ about a whole bottle, just a little splash, enough to make it creamy but not too soupy. Stir it all together, add a bit of salt and pepper, and just let it simmer while your pasta finishes cookin’.
When your pasta’s done, drain it and toss it in with the sausage and cream mix. Stir it all together, makin’ sure every noodle gets a good coat of that creamy sauce. If it looks a little dry, just add a tiny bit more cream or even some pasta water you saved before draining it. I always keep a cup of that water ‘round just in case.
Now, once it’s all mixed up and lookin’ good, sprinkle a good bit of grated Parmesan on top. You know, the real kind, not that stuff in the can. It’ll melt right in and make the whole thing taste rich and delicious. Serve it up hot, and don’t forget to give it a taste. You might need to add a little more salt, just depending on how you like it.
And that’s all there is to it! This Chicken Apple Sausage Pasta is real easy to make, and the whole family’s gonna love it. It’s sweet, savory, and creamy all at the same time. Plus, it doesn’t take too long to throw together, which is a blessing after a long day. Give it a try next time you’re lookin’ for somethin’ different for dinner.
