Remember our Spring Break trip to NYC? One of our favorite meals was at ‘Eataly’ in the World Trade Center. The pizza was incredible (they even had a gluten free one that that was the BEST ever), and the pasta was seriously divine. We loved every bite of our meal! They have little store to by Italian food items next to the restaurant and I bought some vesuvio pasta. When I got home I tried to recreate the pasta dish we had, and this Creamy Pasta with Sausage is what I came up with it. Not the same, but still delicious! It came together quick and was pure comfort food! My family loved this dinner and it got us all talking about our fun trip to NYC. It was a win, win!
What you need to make this Creamy Pasta with Sausage:
