Spicy Sausage Pasta


Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb smoked sausage (I use turkey sausage)
  • 1 diced onion 
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chiles
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
Directions:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
