This recipe came about after I sampled some roasted garlic smoked sausage at Costco.  They must have sold a ton of it that day because the checker commented how good it must be because everyone was buying it.

I first cut up a few links and browned them to serve with scrambled eggs……SO GOOD!!

That’s when I knew I had to use it with pasta, and the perfect time to try a roasted red pepper sauce I had heard about!!

  4. Pour the roasted red pepper puree into skillet with smoked sausage, stir over medium heat until heated through. Slowly add heavy cream, stir to combine and continue heating about 10 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken.
