Hearty, comforting, indulgent and filling, check out our collection of sausage pasta recipes if you're in need of a meal that's certain to hit the spot. These pasta recipes with sausage don’t miss. And, yes, this collection includes our recipe for sausage gochujang rigatoni – because we’re pretty sure you’d be rioting in the streets if it didn’t.

When making pasta dishes, you can use a variety of sausages to create different flavours and textures. Italian sausages, both sweet and spicy, are popular choices for their robust flavour and blend of herbs and spices. Chorizo adds a smoky and slightly spicy kick, perfect for adding depth to your pasta sauce. Bratwurst can offer a milder taste that pairs well with creamy sauces, while andouille sausage brings a Cajun-inspired heat. For a lighter option, consider chicken or turkey sausages, which are leaner but still flavourful.
Herbs and spices can significantly enhance the flavours of pasta recipes with sausages. Basil, oregano, and thyme are classic choices that complement the savoury and rich flavours of sausage. Rosemary adds a fragrant, pine-like aroma, while parsley provides a fresh, slightly peppery finish. Garlic and onion powder are essential for adding depth and complexity. For a bit of heat, crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper can be sprinkled in. Don't forget black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg for subtle warmth and complexity.
To round out your sausage pasta dish, consider serving it with a variety of sides and garnishes. A fresh, crisp salad with a tangy vinaigrette can balance the richness of the pasta. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette is perfect for sopping up any extra sauce. For garnishes, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley or basil add a touch of freshness and colour. Roasted vegetables like courgette, bell peppers, or asparagus can complement the pasta and add nutritional value.
The choice of pasta shape can affect the overall texture and eating experience of your sausage pasta dish. Penne and rigatoni are excellent choices as their ridges hold onto the sauce well. Fusilli and rotini, with their spiral shapes, are great for trapping pieces of sausage and sauce in every bite. For a more traditional feel, spaghetti or fettuccine can be used, especially if the sauce is more liquid-based. Orecchiette, which means "little ears," is also a good option as its cup-like shape catches bits of sausage and sauce perfectly.
Sausage pasta pairs well with a variety of sauces, each bringing its unique flair to the dish. A classic tomato sauce, made with crushed tomatoes, garlic, and herbs, highlights the savoury flavours of the sausage. Cream-based sauces like Alfredo or a simple cream and Parmesan sauce can create a rich and indulgent meal. For a bit of heat, try a spicy arrabbiata sauce. Pesto, with its fresh basil and garlic notes, can also be a delightful and unexpected pairing. Lastly, a garlic and oil (aglio e olio) sauce, possibly with a hint of chilli flakes, can be a simple yet delicious option.
