Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 1 lb ground sausage
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan.

Step 4

Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, allowing the cheese to melt completely into the sauce. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 9

Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet and toss until coated in the sauce.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
