With our recent spiralizer purchase, it’s pretty rare for us to make pasta anymore, but since it was Valentine’s Day we decided to splurge a little and try our hands at the linguine with sausage from the Newlywed Cookbook. Side note, this is one of my favorite cookbooks and so easy to follow the recipes!
What You’ll Need:
What You’ll Need:
1 lb sweet or spicy Italian sausage – we used Al Fresco Sweet Italian Style Chicken Sausage
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb linguine
Salt & Pepper
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup of whole milk
3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Grated zest of one lemon
Handful of fresh chives, chopped
Instructions:
Instructions:
1. Peel back the skins and cut the sausage into little blunt-edged meatballs
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the sausage until golden brown all over – approximately 5 minutes.
3. While the sausage is cooking, cook the linguine in salted water until al dente, 3-5 minutes for fresh or 10-12 minutes for dried
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, half the cheese, pepper and the lemon zest
5. Drain the pasta and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid
6. Add the pasta, egg mixture & sausage into the pot and mix together. The heat from the pasta will thicken the egg to a silky sauce
7. Add anywhere from 3/4 to 1/2 of the pasta water to loosen.
8. Toss with the remaining cheese and chives, serve & enjoy!
This was actually my first time having an egg sauce with my pasta and I really enjoyed it. We followed the recipe exactly and had enough left over to enjoy for lunch the next day. I can see us making this during the week since it took about 25 minutes total to prepare!

xo,
Looks sooo good!! My kids(and Marc) like the chicken sausage with apple. I didn't tell them it wasn't "regular" sausage until after they tried it lol. Getting the boys to try a new food is a big accomplishment in our household. The first time it was cooking Luke looked in the pan and commented oh you're making hot dogs and I just responded yes I am as nonchalantly as possible. The less pressure you put on them the better the outcome lol. Can't wait to try this! xo
Ohhh this looks sooooo good! I love that chicken sausage! I definitely need to try this out soon, anything easy is a winner in my kitchen! 😉
Yummy! This looks super delicious! We love that sausage brand, too! I need my spiralizer, ASAP!
This dish looks amazing!!! Looks like we were on the same wave length this weekend with real pasta for Valentine's Day 🙂 I have never made chicken sausage, I need to get on that!
Yumm! Brian and I were given this cookbook, but I haven’t even opened it yet. Looks like I need to test out some of those recipes!
Oh yum! I have been attempted an egg sauce, but this sounds amazing.

This looks delish! I've been trying to cut back on how much pasta we eat too, but sometimes it just hits the spot. Also, need to get my hands on a spiralizer!
Pssst… hop on over and link up with us for Recipe Swap Tuesday 😉
This looks delicious!! I use the same chicken sausage in pasta dishes- love it! I want to try an egg sauce sometime soon!

This looks so good! I'm not the biggest fan of sausage but I know my husband would love it and it's easy enough to just pick out or only put on his plate- you are making me want to get this cookbook more and more!
Yum, yum – this sounds delicious!
This looks like a great date night dinner, and you really can't beat the convenience of an under-30 minute meal!
Helloooooo there, this looks and sounds awesome! Definitely beats what I had for dinner last night- I want to try this! 🙂

Holy yum! Wanna come on down here and make that for me please??
Yum! This looks absolutely delicious.
Yum!! This sounds delish! Eric makes a pasta carbonara (I know I'm totally spelling that wrong, oops!) with an egg sauce that is DELISH! I shared the recipe somewhere on my blog, yum! It still intimidates me to use an egg sauce when I'm the one cooking though, ha!
I love it when there's enough leftover to have lunch the next day! I've never had an egg sauce either but your pictures make that look delicious!
I've never made an egg sauce either, but this looks delicious! Thanks for sharing girl!
Looks good, and I'm betting will be even better as a leftover- pasta's so weird like that! Though, I'd have to make it while a boy isn't paying attention- I think the egg sauce would freak him out 🙂
OMG my mouth is watering! Making this SOON!
I just recently discovered your blog — this recipe looks so good and definitely can't beat the cooking time!
Yum! I have all of the ingredients for this and may need to make it tonight!!
This sounds so good! I've never heard of an egg sauce before, especially paired with pasta.

oh man, this looks SO good. we eat a sausage-less sausage from Trader Joes that this would be perfect in.
This looks amazing Biana! I love light pasta dishes, so I prefer to just use a small amount of parmesan cheese mixed with the water that you cook your noodles in {makes a great light sauce} and fresh herbs! And now I'm officially hungry 😉
This looks so tasty! Sausage and pasta are two of our favorites so we are sold! We have never tried an egg sauce but it looks really good. Pinned this for later 🙂 Winks and Eyerolls
You had me at "egg sauce!!" I love anything with eggs and this pasta looks amazing! And for real, I need a spiralizer.

This sounds delicious! We eat way too many pasta dishes in this house. I have a spiralizer…but I'm still always opting for pasta instead, especially in these colder months. So bad!
Oh yummy! I've never made an egg sauce before, sounds intriguing! I like that it's quick to make!
This looks delicious !

That looks great. I always love pasta recipes that have you add an egg. They always up the decadence.

Pasta is totally a weekend meal for me now. Whomp whomp I can blame my own fat a$$ for that.

Yum! I don't normally cook pasta (though my hubby wishes I would). I'll keep this recipe in mind though for if I do. Ones without tomato sauce are ideal for me! 🙂
I've decided I'm making this for dinner tomorrow night, my guy will love it 🙂 Thanks for sharing Biana!!
