Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 medium onion, diced
- 1–2 Tbsp (30 ml) olive oil (not pictured)
- 14 oz. (397 g) smoked turkey (link) sausage
- 4 tsp (20 ml) minced garlic (or 4 cloves, minced)
- 1 (10 ounce) (283 g) can diced tomatoes & chilies
- 3 cups (710 ml) chicken broth (or 3 cups hot water + 3 tsp Better than Bouillion)
- 16 oz. (454 g) dried pasta (I use rotini or penne usually)
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) pepper
- 2 cups (474 ml) shredded Colby & Monterrey Jack Cheese (can substitute your favorite cheddar or blend)
Instructions
Pour the olive oil into a large skillet (that you can also use in the oven), then add the sliced sausage and onion.
Cook for around 8-10 minutes until the onion begins to caramelize and the sausage has browned. Add the garlic and cook for another 30-60 seconds.
Tip: Buy already minced garlic vs. fresh. You can buy much larger quantities and it lasts a lot longer in the fridge. Plus it’s super easy to measure out and add to recipes!
Once the garlic is fragrant, stir in the broth, canned tomatoes (not drained), pasta, salt, pepper and heavy cream.
Once it’s well mixed, bring to a boil, cover and cook on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently and turn off once the pasta is tender! While it’s cooking, turn the broiler on in your oven.
Stir in about half a cup of cheese, then spread the rest on top!
Broil for about 3 minutes (until the cheese is melted), then enjoy!!
