ONE POT CHEESY SMOKED SAUSAGE & PASTA SKILLET



ONE POT CHEESY SMOKED SAUSAGE & PASTA SKILLET image

Categories     Cheese     Pasta     Dinner     Sausage

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb Hillshire Farm Smoked Turkey Sausage, sliced
1 cup diced onion
1 Tbsp minced garlic (about two fresh cloves)
2 cups Chicken Broth
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
8 oz dry pasta (any small pasta will do)
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1 cup shredded Cheddar-Jack cheese
1/3 cup chopped scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add olive oil to a 4-5 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, 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. 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. Makes about 4 servings.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will give the pasta plenty of room to cook and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much pasta to the skillet, it will not cook evenly.
  • Stir the pasta frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the skillet and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce in stages: This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked and the sauce from becoming too thick.
  • Season the pasta to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

One-skillet pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in under 30 minutes.
