Sausage and Pasta

Okay, I know the title sounds boring. I'm just not in an imaginative naming mood. lol. This, however, is probably one of Mady's new favorite recipes that I have tried out.

Ingredients:
Pasta (I used medium shells, penne or rigatoni would work well also)
4-5 sausage links (like what you would typical grill)
Sour cream
Ground cayenne
Garlic salt
Sage

Cut up your sausage into small bite-size pieces. Put into a medium skillet. Add your sour cream immediately. Cook over medium-high heat (but not too high in order to avoid the fats from the sausage getting too hot. Fat splatters hurt). Let the sour cream cook down. Yes, it looks kind of weird, but ignore that part. Add your spices once your sour cream has cooked down.

In a separate pot, cook your pasta like normal. After you drain your pasta, add your sausage mixture and mix well.

The sour cream cuts down on the sharp bite of the sausage. You don't get a heavy sour cream taste, it's just slightly sweeter without being really sweet. If that makes any sense at all. Mady normally doesn't eat sausage links, but she was chowing down on this one!
