Cheesy Sausage Pasta Skillet
Report
In this cheesy sausage pasta skillet recipe, smoky sausage links compliment tender pasta while sun dried tomatoes add a chewy, slightly sweet element.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds link sausage, cut into coins (I like Applegate's Organic Andouille sausage)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped (if canned in oil, press off most of the oil with a towel)
- 4 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 box (13.25 ounces) Dreamfields penne rigate pasta
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat a large all-metal (oven safe) skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the sausage coins and onion. Sauté until the onion is tender and the sausage has browned a bit. The fat from the sausage should be enough to keep things from sticking to the pan, but if you have sticking, add a couple teaspoons of butter or cooking coconut oil.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, dill, and nutmeg. Sauté another minute so the tomatoes soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a slow-rolling boil then add the pasta.
- Heat the oven to 400° F (this is optional).
- Once the pasta has reached the al dente stage (it should absorb all the liquid so no draining necessary), turn the heat down to low and stir in the cream and cheese.
- Pop the pan in the oven and bake for 8 to 15 minutes or until the top begins to crisp and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute the sausage with other kinds of link sausage. You can also use ground beef, chorizo, shrimp, or leftover rotisserie or roasted chicken instead if you like.
