La Pasta Cremosa di Emi Con Funghi e Salsiccia

Okay, tonight I had to make dinner, and we didn't have anything, so I just threw things together and this is what I came up with... Everyone ate it, and I thought it was great...

Emi's Creamy Pasta with Mushrooms & Smoked Sausage

Ingredients:

10 large mushrooms, sliced (or 1 - 2 cups if already sliced)

2 tablespoons of butter

a dash of Italian herbs

1 - 1 1/2 lbs of pasta (I used Farfalle)

1 Hillshire Farm (c) Polska Kielbasa, sliced

Sauce:

3/4 cups of butter

12 oz. cream cheese

2 1/2 teaspoons of garlic/parsley powder

2 1/2 cups of milk

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1/4 cup Mozzarella

a dash of white pepper

Instructions:

1. 1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in skillet/pan. Add mushrooms and a dash or Italian herbs and sauté (cook) until browned
2. Once browned, place aside and leave the mushrooms until further instruction
3. Fill one large pan with water and boil for pasta
4. Melt 3/4 cups of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add cream cheese and garlic/parsley powder, mixing with a metal whisk until the sauce has a smooth texture
5. Next, whisk in milk, followed by Parmesan, mozzarella, and white pepper. Continue to whisk until sauce is smooth, if the mozzarella causes the sauce to become "stringy," then increase the temperature, while stirring constantly**
6. If the water is boiling, add pasta and cook according to box
7. In a large skillet, begin to brown the Polska sausage. Meanwhile, add the mushrooms to the sauce and remove from heat
8. Once sausage is browned, drain excess oils/grease and add sausages to sauce
9. Drain pasta and add the sauce to the pasta

** If sauce is too thick, add a bit of milk, I suggest a tablespoon at a time
     If sauce is too thin, add a bit of flour, once again I suggest a tablespoon at a time

I hope you all enjoy the recipe!!! I will add more soon!
