You are going to fall in love with the decadent combination of garlic sausage, pasta, and roasted garlic in a creamy three cheese sauce. The sauce has a splash of wine to add just the right touch of acid to this Garlic Sausage Pasta. It is pure comfort food and a particular favorite of mine. Serve this with a side salad, and you’ve got a complete meal.

Creamy Roasted Garlic Sausage Pasta

Swoon-Worthy Garlic Sausage Pasta

I think most every cook has their go-to dishes. The ones that you make over and over again when you are craving a delicious meal that you know will be good.

For the past several years, this Creamy Roasted Garlic Sausage Pasta has been a recipe I have turned to again and again, whenever I was craving comfort food.

I never gave any thought about the fact that I’d never shared it here until someone asked me for the recipe and I realized that I’d never written it down. It was just one of those “in my head” things.

I probably have a half a dozen recipes like that - ones I make all the time but haven’t shared.

It is time to change that, don’t you think?

I am obsessed with this dish for a lot of reasons. One of them is that I love the intense sweetness that develops when garlic is slowly roasted. It loses most of its pungency, and develops a sweeter aroma. Combined with a cheesy creamy sauce, and you've got something special.

Indulge or Make it Cleaner - You Decide!

This Creamy Sausage Garlic Pasta can be just as indulgent as you like. You can make it with heavy cream, half-and-half or Whole Milk, but I often make it with my quinoa cream. Feel free to play with the amount of cheese, and even switch up the cheeses that you use.

You’ll notice that I use wine in this recipe. I love cooking with wine because since the bottle is open, it is a great excuse to have a glass.

As if I need an excuse!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

Yes! This is very easy to make ahead and then reheat as a casserole. I've got instructions at the end of the recipe.

What types of sausage work in this recipe?

I am obsessed with garlic sausage, but if you can't find it or it seems like to much garlic for your taste buds, Italian sausage will work too.

How long do leftovers keep?

Leftovers are good for two or three days. I recommend reheating in either the oven or stove top, and adding a touch of milk or cream if necessary. I often use fresh almond flour pasta to make this, and should note that fresh pasta tends to get mushy the next day. It isn't a problem for us because with teenage boys, leftovers of this recipe aren't really a thing.

Tips for Making This Garlic Sausage Pasta Recipe:
