Grilled Sausage and Ranch Pasta

Grilled Sausage and Ranch Pasta

Grilled Sausage and Ranch Pasta is a new family favorite. Bratwurst is a favorite at our house. My husband and I both had lived in the midwest for at least a few years growing up, and we spent 4 years there while in school. We had a lot of really good bratwurst. Our local grocer had an awesome meat counter that always had at least 4 different flavors, and we made it a point to try them all. Not at one time, mind you. We did it slowly, at a healthy rate.

It’s just a good thing that bratwurst is available everywhere, even if not in as many varieties.

We used bratwurst with this awesome pasta. And topped it with what we love on our brats. You can use whatever sausage you and your family love.

So, go enjoy some serious comfort food. I mean, really. Cheese, ranch, sausage, and avocado all in the same pasta dish. Plus, it’s absolutely delicious. I’m telling you. Makes me warm and happy just thinking about it. And, yes, I have issues.
