Skillet Spicy Sausage Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. smoked sausage (sliced)
- 1 1/2 cups diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 10 oz can Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chiles, mild
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 8 oz. penne pasta (or your favorite pasta)
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper (each)
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded (pepper jack or mozzarella work too))
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is warm add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in ½ cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly.
Notes
Optional- Add 1/4-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese when you add in the cheese before putting the skillet in the oven.
