Kielbasa with Creamy Alfredo Pasta

This is a super quick meal and very delicious.  I just love the creaminess of the sauce.  The cream cheese blends perfectly with the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.  Super yummy!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

-1 lb Polska kielbasa

-1 lb pasta (any kind you like)

-1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter

-4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

-2 cups heavy cream

-1 tsp garlic powder

-1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

-1 tsp salt

-1 tsp pepper

Directions:

Cut the sausage in half lengthwise, then slice.  Place in heated skillet and cook until golden brown. Remove from stove.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions.  Drain and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in large saucepan.  Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth.  Stir in the heavy cream and garlic powder.  Bring to a simmer, lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cheese, salt and pepper.  Give it a good stir.  

Pour sauce over drained pasta.  Add the cooked kielbasa.  Mix well, serve and enjoy!
