Step 1: Prepare the Pasta

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
• Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining. Set aside both the pasta and pasta water.

Step 2: Cook the Honey Garlic Shrimp

• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the pan, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and pour the honey garlic mixture over the shrimp.
• Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Sausage

• In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the sliced sausage. Cook over medium heat until the sausage is browned and slightly crispy, about 5-6 minutes.
• Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside with the shrimp.

Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce

• In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
• Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
• Gradually stir in the 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
• Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using) for a little heat.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 5: Combine the Ingredients

• Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce in the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
• Stir in the browned sausage and honey garlic shrimp until everything is well combined.

Step 6: Serve

• Serve the Honey Garlic Shrimp & Sausage Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley if desired.
