Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rotini preferred)
  • 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced (kielbasa or andouille)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Spicy Honey BBQ Sauce

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese
  • Extra red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook 3–4 minutes per side until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well and set aside.
  3. Simmer the pasta: In the same skillet, add chicken broth and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Combine and finish: Return sausage to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir to coat everything evenly. Let simmer uncovered for 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Serve and garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning. Top with parsley, cheese, or red pepper flakes as desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
