Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned and caramelized. Remove the sausage and set aside, keeping the drippings in the pan.

In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and lower heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.

Pour in BBQ sauce and honey, stirring to combine with garlic. Add paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

Return sausage and cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until coated with the sauce. Heat through for 1–2 minutes.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
