One Pot Italian Sausage Pasta
Description
The recipe starts by browning sliced Italian-style sausage in olive oil, then sautéing onions and garlic until fragrant and softened. After this, chicken broth, heavy cream, diced tomatoes, and uncooked dry pasta are added and simmered covered, allowing the pasta to cook directly in the flavorful liquid. This technique tastes the pasta through with the sausage and tomato cream sauce as it cooks.
Once the pasta is tender, part of the shredded mozzarella is stirred through the hot pasta to melt evenly, with the remainder sprinkled on top and melted under a lid for a few minutes, creating a richly creamy, cheesy finish. The dish can be garnished with parmesan or fresh herbs if desired, balancing the hearty richness of the sausage and cream.
This one-pan method reduces cleanup and cooking time while yielding a satisfying meal featuring the blend of Italian sausage, creamy tomato sauce, and tender pasta. It's well suited for an all-in-one dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian-style sausage I use chicken or turkey sausage, sliced
- 1 onion chopped, medium
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 Italian style diced tomatoes 14.5 oz can
- 8 ounces pasta I used spaghetti, dry
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat, then add the sausage to the pan. Cook until sausage is browned, then add the chopped onions and garlic. Cook for 5 more minutes until onions are softened and garlic is fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, diced tomatoes, and dry pasta to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and stir everything well. Turn the heat to medium low and cover the pan with a lid. Cook undisturbed for 15 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese, then place the lid back on the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
