Creamy Sausage Pasta

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 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.
