🍝 Garlic Sausage Alfredo Rigatoni 🐉

Indulge in the creamy richness of Garlic Sausage Alfredo Rigatoni, perfect for a family dinner that brings everyone to the table!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese  
- Salt and pepper to taste  
- 1 tbsp olive oil  
- 4 cloves garlic, minced  
- 1 cup heavy cream  
- 4 garlic sausage links, sliced  
- 12 oz rigatoni pasta  
- ½ cup chicken broth  
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Prepare the Pasta: Boil the rigatoni in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.  
2. Brown the Sausages: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic sausages and cook until they are nicely browned on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.  
3. Create the Alfredo Sauce: Using the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until it's fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then bring to a gentle simmer.  
4. Add Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.  
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked rigatoni and browned sausage to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta and sausage are well-coated with the Alfredo sauce.  
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve hot.
