Easy enough for a Tuesday but delicious enough for the Sunday dinner table!!
Meet your new favorite meal of the week! I'm not sure if I prefer this dinner the night of OR as leftovers the next day! Serve with some low carb garlic bread and a side salad. *Chefs kiss*
LOW CARB Sausage Blush Sauce- Serves 4
16oz ground sausage, chicken or pork (casings removed)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 cups marinara sauce (I use Raos)
salt, pepper, and red pepper flake to your taste
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium high heat.
Add in your sausage and sauté for 5-8 minutes, breaking the sausage apart and crumbling, until it is fully cooked.
Drain if needed.
Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the sausage and stir well.
Then add the tomato sauce and stir.
Then add in the chicken stock and heavy cream and stir.
Allow this to come up to a bubble and cook for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir often and turn down the heat if the pan begins to splatter.
Taste and season with salt, pepper and (optional) red pepper flake.
Remove from the heat and add to your favorite pasta.
I LOVE using hearts of palm noodles and topping with parmesan cheese. Low carb heaven!
