I have a lot of catching up to do on recipes!! This recipe I pulled from Kevin and Amanda's blog who got this recipe from the cookbook, The Best Simple Recipes! Smoked sausage is one of those things I love to eat, but often forget exists when I'm at the grocery store! This is an absolutely delightful, hearty dish that we had no problems polishing off in just a couple of days! Let's get started...
Ingredients
1 TB olive oil
1 lb. smoked sausage
1.5 c diced onion
2 cloves garlic-minced
2 c chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Rotel
1/2 c heavy cream
8 oz. Penne Pasta
1/2 tsp. salt & pepper
1 c Mont Jack shredded cheese
1/3 c thin sliced green onion
To begin, you're going to want to add your olive oil to your pan over medium/high heat! You're going to want the oil to get hot enough it's smoking before you add the sliced smoked sausage and diced onion.
Cook these two together until slightly browned, which should take about 4-6 minutes! Add in the 2 garlic cloves, and saute about 30 seconds, or until fragrant!
Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, heavy cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir together!
Bring this all to boil and cover leaving the heat on medium/low and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the pasta is tender!
Stir in 1/2 of a cup of the shredded cheese and mix together well! Top it off with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and sliced green onion, and place under the broiler for a just a few minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and getting brown!
Ready for the broiler
Out of the broiler!
All finished and ready to eat :)
This recipe was absolutely wonderful since it's been so cold outside, it helped warm us up! I did sprinkle a little dash or two of red pepper flakes in there to spice it up a little more!
Stay tuned for another recipe from a friend of mine!
Until then...
