Pasta with Italian Sausage is a delicious meal, with seasoned spaghetti noodles topped with sun-dried tomatoes, onion, basil and summer squash.
Recently I created a recipe for pasta with Italian sausage. I used 2 Italian sausages that I scavenged out of our freezer, added summer squash from our garden, and some sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil) from our garden, as well, so it certainly wasn’t a budget buster!
This dish WAS packed with great flavor! I made the sausage topping while the pasta was cooking, so the entire meal was quick to put together!

How To Make Pasta with Italian Sausage
Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package directions. While the pasta was cooking, I cooked the ingredients for the “sauce” in my trusty old, large skillet.
These ingredients include Italian sausage, onion, green peppers, yellow squash, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, minced garlic, and spices.
When done cooking, drain off the little bit of grease from the Italian sausage from the skillet. Good riddance!
Season the Cooked Pasta
For this recipe for pasta with Italian sausage I use spaghetti, but any pasta would work just fine! When done cooking, drain the pasta (don’t rinse), then put it back in the pan. Toss the hot pasta with butter, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve The Pasta with Italian Sausage
Divide the hot, seasoned pasta with Italian sausage into serving dishes. Top each portion with the Italian sausage mixture. Generously sprinkle the pasta with additional Parmesan cheese, to finish.
Grab a fork, and enjoy this tasty pasta with Italian sausage dish! Looks pretty good, and tastes very good! The best part? Pasta with Italian sausage can be prepared and on the table in about 20 minutes!
Hope you enjoy this delicious pasta with Italian sausage! I made it up as I went along (which is ALWAYS an adventure!), but was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. the pasta is full of flavor! My husband and I LOVED this simple meal. Have a great day, friends, and please come back again soon.
