This creamy, decadent, and garlicky Apple Chicken Sausage Pasta is accented with mushrooms and peas and can be thrown together in just 30 minutes.
Today I have an easy and delicious apple chicken sausage pasta dish to share with you. It’s creamy, rich, and garlicky, but made just a little lighter by using chicken sausage. I love this recipe because it only requires 11 ingredients, one pan, and one pot.
How to Make Apple Chicken Sausage Pasta
This creamy sausage pasta dish could not be more simple to make. The sausage gets browned while the mushrooms get soft and caramalized in a little olive oil. Green onions and garlic are added and cooked down. Then to make it creamy, we add a little chicken broth, heavy cream, and some frozen peas. This saucy goodness then gets tossed with some fettuccine noodles, mixed with parmesan cheese and garnished with green onions, parsley, and more cheese.
Serving and Storing Apple Chicken Sausage Pasta
You can serve Apple Chicken Sausage Pasta with crusty bread and a side salad to make it an elegant meal with very minimal effort. It’s also great for leftovers and can be heated back up in a pan with a little added water to make the sauce creamy and smooth again. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Looks good! I wonder how evaporated milk would work instead of the heavy cream?
Kristen King says
I think it would work just fine!
Brenda Barnes says
I followed the recipe as Kristen has written except I adore peas so I added an extra 1/4 cup. This was such an easy comfort food dish. Leftovers were even better the next day. I’m a huge apple chicken sausage fan so I will be making this again!

Thank you, Brenda! I’m so glad you like it! I love dishes that get even better in the fridge for leftovers.

Next time we are going to double everything.
….and still probably run out during the first meal.

Yum! I didn’t have any mushrooms on hand so I used peas and carrots, added a little fresh tarragon and sage to the sauce as it reduced. It was divine. Absolutely will be making again and adding the mushrooms!
