# Instructions:
01 -
Take a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Put in the sliced sausage and let it brown on both sides, around 4-5 minutes. Take it out of the pan and put it aside.
02 -
Using the same pan, toss in the butter and let it melt on medium. Add in the minced garlic, stir it around for a bit—1 to 2 minutes—until it smells amazing. Mix the sausage back in, coat it well in all that buttery goodness. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and seasoning. Turn off the heat and sprinkle parsley on top.
03 -
Take a big pot, fill it with water, and add some salt. Bring it to a boil, then cook the pasta just like the package instructs. Drain it when it's done and put it aside.
04 -
On medium heat, melt the butter in a big saucepan. Pour in the cream and garlic powder, stirring all the time. Slowly add the Parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce turns smooth and velvety. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, as you like.
05 -
Mix your cooked pasta with the creamy cheese sauce until it's well coated. Place the garlic butter sausage bites on top. Add some extra parsley and Parmesan as a finishing touch.
