Creamy Italian Sausage Fettuccine with Spanish Peanut Sauce from Cinco de Mayo Salsas

I know I've been posting a lot lately about my dining out adventures, but I've actually been cooking a lot as well!  Lately, I've been doing a lot with Olio Fresca products and Cinco de Mayo Salsas from the Pittsburgh Public Market, and I plan to write a series of posts featuring them.

Since I first discovered Cinco de Mayo Salsas not long ago, I have become a loyal fan.  Last time I wrote about Cinco de Mayo Salsas, I posted owner Arturo's Chicken with Spanish Peanut Sauce recipe.  The Spanish Peanut Sauce is probably my favorite of Arturo's salsas, and here's a second recipe he taught me, and the result is so phenomenal that I've already made this three times in the past month!

Ingredients:

1 lb Italian sweet sausage, removed from casings
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 (8 oz) tub of Spanish Peanut Sauce from Cinco de Mayo Salsas
4 servings of fettuccine
Spices to taste

Directions:

Cook fettuccine according to package directions until just before al dente.  Drain.

In a large skillet, cook sausage until brown while crumbling with your spatula.  Add Spanish Peanut Sauce and heavy cream.  Once heated through, add pasta and toss.

Pittsburgh friends, if you want to make an easy yet delicious meal and support a local small business owner at the same time, go to the Pittsburgh Public Market on Saturdays, buy some Spanish Peanut Sauce from Arturo, and give this recipe a try!  You won't be disappointed!
