Before I get into the full-swing of sharing my fall foods and treats, here is one more quick dinner idea for a busy weeknight! The best part of this dinner is that it is all made in one pan…no boiling noodles separately or any other dishes involved. SCORE! You can kick up the heat level or tone it down with the kind of Rotel tomatoes you use, or can eliminate spice all together with just some regular diced tomatoes. Enjoy this dinner in less that 30 minutes start-to-finish!!
I love me a one-pot dinner. I’m talking you throw the uncooked pasta in with everything else and DONE! Less dishes, under 30 minutes, and still tastes great 🙂
The hubs gave this 2 thumbs up, which is always a good indicator to me that I have found a winner. It had just enough spice, meat, and a yummy sauce to round it all out.
Spicy Sausage Pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage
1.5 cups diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, Mild (I like original)
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
1 lb smoked sausage
1.5 cups diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, Mild (I like original)
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add 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 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly.
