Ingredients:

• 14 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into rounds

• 8 oz pasta (penne, rigatoni, or rotini work well)

• 3 tbsp butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

• ¼ cup honey

• 2 tbsp ketchup

• 1 ½ cups chicken broth

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Brown the Sausage:

   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.

   • Add sliced sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

   • Remove sausage and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

   • Let it bubble for 1-2 minutes.

3. Cook the Pasta:

   • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Combine:

   • Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and toss everything together.

   • Simmer for 2-3 more minutes until sticky and glossy.

5. Serve:
