I love pasta with a creamy sauce! Throw in a really good Italian sausage and you have me hook, line, and sinker. This dish was favorite before I made the lifestyle change to keto and with a quick pasta change it still is.
I use ThinslimFoods.com pasta. It's been a great substitution for me when I need something a little more substantial than miracle noodles.
Remember when the ingredients are few make sure they are good quality. This is such a quick meal and it cooks in one pot so go for the good sausage and the good roasted red peppers. I know you will enjoy this one.

16 oz Pasta of your choice
