Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or nonstick skillet.
- Add sliced sausages, mushrooms, onion, and garlic; season with thyme, salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in the water, chicken broth, and evaporated milk, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the pasta. Continue to cook for 10 minutes, or until pasta is done, stirring every 1-2 minutes to keep the pasta from clumping together.
- Add in the parmesan cheese and stir until well incorporated and you have a smooth sauce. Remove from heat and the sauce will thicken as it stands.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of parmesan, and serve.
