You all know we love sausage. You’ve heard me mention a gazillion times how much we especially enjoy Johnsonville Sausages {Here are just a few of the recipes we’ve featured using those scrumptious sausages: Stuffed Turkey Breast w/Pomegranate Glaze, Sausage Kebabs glazed w/balsamic and fig preserves, Ultimate Spaghetti Sauce…I could literally go on and on because, hello it’s sausage…told you we LOVE them and USE them all the time}
To get you inspired, I prepared a little something something myself ; ) Pappardelle alla Salsiccia {Pappardelle Pasta with you got it Johnsonville Sausages} Pappardelle means ribbons in Italian and this pasta, is exactly that, ribbons and ribbons of luxurious egg pasta kissed with a beautiful Italian sausage and tomato sauce that’s given a little zing with some equisite balsamic vinegar!
I saved a forkful just for YOU ; )

This looks amazing, the photos are fantastic. I wish I had some sausage (and that they made gluten free pappardelle pasta), I would totally make this tonight! YUM.

sounds delicious, simple, and perfect for cold weather. I think I’d add some spinach or arugula to the dish.

Lovely recipe, Paula. We cook with sausages all the time – really, what’s not to like? The sausage tucked into the folds of the pappardelle is very enticing.
