I absolutely love sausages! The problem is you never really know what is in them, right? Sure, they are pork, but what part? 😬 Too many times I’ve taken a bite and ended up almost breaking a tooth from biting into something rock hard. Meat doesn’t have anything hard like that in it…  grossed out time and time again led me to buying the sausage attachment for my kitchenaid and I’ve never looked back!

There are so many different types of sausage you can make. Today’s recipe is for Italian Sausage Links. Super easy and delicious, you’ll never want store bought sausage again!

What to make with Italian Sausage Links

Now that you’ve got them, what can you do with your Italian Sausage Links?

They are great diced up and thrown into pasta, like this Sausage Tortellini Alfredo with Broccoli.

Italian Sausage Links are an excellent star of the show for dinner. Pair them with a Kale Caesar Salad or Garden Salad for a delicious low carb meal.
