Looking for a super quick dinner meal? I’ve got one for you – Easy Homemade Sausage Pasta!

Most of the time, after a long day at work, nobody wants to spend long hours in the kitchen trying to pull together an elaborate recipe. What you need is something that can be easily accomplished, does not involve too many ingredients, but still satisfying and delicious. That’s exactly what this easy homemade sausage pasta recipe is all about. In just 20 minutes, you would have an American-Italian sausage pasta that can rival other pasta recipes out there.

The main star of this recipe is Italian sausages. If you have any sausage at home, that will work. And I mean anything that is of good quality. When it comes to the type of noodles, you can make use of anything, too, from spaghetti to penne, linguine, farfalle, spiral, fettucini, and many more. You can even make use of macaroni.

What makes a huge difference really is how you make the sauce, what it contains, and, of course, the sausages. Simply chop the sausages in chunks so they would look like meatballs. In fact, the main idea of this recipe is swapping out the traditional meatballs with equally savory sausages.
