Farfalle with Sausage

Farfalle with Sausage

Talk about a great pasta recipe… this is it! This recipe has been in our family for about 30 years and is definitely delicious! If you love pasta, then you should try this. A comfort food that has a wonderful mix of flavors, from the spices, to the sausage, to all the melted cheese. Farfalle with sausage is absolutely amazing!

Sometimes I will substitute sweet Italian sausage, instead of the hot Italian sausage, to give it a different taste. When making a large amount, you can double the recipe and use both types of sausage. Our favorite is the spicy flavor and it’s not very spicy at all, and tastes really good.

A favorite among our family and one that is constantly being requested. I recently asked my youngest daughter, Halie, if she could eat any type of food, from any restaurant, or from any place, what would it be? She said, “Your pasta!” I’m telling you all, this is super delish!!
