Indulge in the rich flavors of savory bratwurst and creamy butter with this quick and satisfying pasta dish, perfect for a cozy night in!

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 250 grams of pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 pieces of bratwurst and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove bratwurst from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing them into bite-sized pieces.

3

In the same skillet, add 100 grams of butter. Once melted, add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, add 2 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

4

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the butter, onion, and garlic. Toss to combine, adding sliced bratwurst to the mixture.

5

If the pasta seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water until the desired consistency is reached. Season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

6

Finally, chop 30 grams of parsley and sprinkle it over the pasta. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
