instructions
    1

    Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil; this should take about 10 minutes.

    2

    Once the water is boiling, add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente.

    3

    While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    4

    Add the boudin, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until it is browned and fully cooked, around 5-7 minutes.

    5

    Minced garlic should be added to the pan with the boudin during the last 2 minutes of cooking, stirring until fragrant.

    6

    In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream and parmesan cheese over low heat, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.

    7

    Once the spaghetti is done, reserve 1 cup of cooking water and then drain the rest.

    8

    Toss the drained spaghetti into the skillet with the boudin and garlic, then slowly add the cheese sauce, mixing well to coat the noodles.

    9

    If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water until you achieve the desired consistency.

    10

    Finish with black pepper, salt, and sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy flavor.
  • Substitute half of the spaghetti with spiralized zucchini for a healthier option.
  • Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of sweetness.
Important Tips
  • Make sure to reserve some pasta water before draining; it helps loosen the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before serving; every boudin can vary in saltiness.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for a richer flavor.
