Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta Skillet
Cheesy Smoked Sausage Pasta recipe has smoked sausage and pasta in a spicy, creamy sauce that's all cooked in one pan for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb smoked sausage
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes about 10oz
- 8 oz dried pasta like rotini, penne or farfalle
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar-jack cheese or more
- 1/3 cup sliced scallions
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a 5 quart saute pan over medium high heat. Add onions and sausage and cook until lightly browned. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add chicken broth, tomatoes (undrained), milk, pasta, and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of cheese. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and cover for about five minutes to allow cheese to melt. Top with sliced scallions and serve. (You could also broil for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese).
