Sticky Honey Garlic Sausage Pasta (Print Version)

A quick 25-minute pasta featuring caramelized sausage pieces in a sticky-sweet honey garlic sauce that's both satisfying and simple.

# Ingredients:

01 - 8 ounces pasta (penne or fusilli)
02 - 4 sausages (pork or chicken)
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1/4 cup honey
05 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
06 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
07 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
08 - 1/4 cup chopped parsley
09 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
02 - Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage pieces until they’re browned and cooked through.
03 - Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
04 - Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
05 - Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sticky, sweet, and savory sauce.
06 - Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, herbal finish.
07 - Serve the Sticky Honey Garlic Sausage Pasta warm and savor every delicious bite!

# Additional Notes:

01 - For a spicier twist, opt for Italian-style sausages. Adjust honey to taste for sweetness. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor.
