Thanks, Dinah! Hope y’all enjoy it!
I totally just inhaled this. So good!
So glad you liked it!
I used jalapeno sausage, with this, it was great!!!
What a great way to add even more flavor! Thanks for sharing!
So you only need 8 ounces of the pasta?
Yep, you don’t need the whole package.
This was delicious! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Isn’t it good!? I think this one is often overlooked, but it’s so delicious!
This is EXCELLENT. It’s quick, it’s easy, and best of all it’s delicious. I tried it, and was skeptical about it, but boy, did my mind change in a hurry. My husband who I could call Mr. Picky Eater even liked it. I’ll be making it again, soon. Thank you, Stacey, for an excellent recipe.
FANTASTIC!!! I’m just tickled y’all enjoyed it so much!!
Kielbasa vs smoked sausage
I have the smoked sausage from a local butcher can I use that?
Yes! That should work just fine. Enjoy!
Hello,
Do you have to use unsalted butter?
Thank you,
Marla
You can use salted. I would just taste it before adding additional salt.
