Coffee conversation with a good friend always turns to food. What’s for dinner? Anything in your crock pot? Tried any new recipes lately? Thanks to Amy for sharing this winner. The fact that this is a one-pan dish is a bonus.
1 T. olive oil
1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 cups of chicken broth (I use low sodium)
1 (10 oz can) of Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies, mild
1/2 c. heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta
1/2 t. salt and pepper
1 c. Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage and onions and cook about 4 minutes, until browned. Add garlic and cook for one minute.
Add broth, Ro-Tel, cream, pasta, salt and pepper, and stir. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked, about 15 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of cheese. Top with remaining cheese. Broil until cheese is melted, spotted brown, and bubbly.
