The Creamy Saffron and Sausage Pasta is one of those Quick Pasta Dishes that fully satisfies the craving for a full-bodied, flavor-packed recipe. Like many pasta dishes, the sauce is prepared just in the pasta cooking time and marries some classic flavors of our cuisine: sausage, cream and saffron.

This Creamy Pasta is ideal to prepare on the fly for a family dinner but also in case of last-minute guests because it will allow you to serve an appealing and enjoyable dish on the table with minimal effort. It is impossible to resist the creaminess of Pasta Zafferano e Salsiccia and its full-bodied flavor, made even more interesting by the spicy note of the saffron, which also lends color to the dish, making it appetizing to the eye as well.

If you are wondering about what cream you should be using, please note that heavy cream, whipping cream, double cream in the UK, and thickened cream in Australia are good for this recipe. Be sure to choose a cream with a high-fat content as it will help to thicken the sauce.

Variations and Alternatives

If you wish, you can replace the heavy cream with the same amount of white sauce. If, on the other hand, you want to tone down the intense flavor of the sausage, we recommend fuming it with half a glass of white wine.

Tips

If you should find that the pasta turns out a bit dry as soon as you combine all the ingredients in the pot to mix, add half a ladleful of the pasta cooking water: the starch in it will make the dish even creamier.

Storage

The Creamy Saffron and Sausage Pasta should be consumed as soon as it is ready to best enjoy its creaminess. Should you have leftover, you can store it in the refrigerator, inside an airtight container, for 1 day and reheat it in a pot with a drop of water or milk to make it creamy again.
