Servings4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 12 oz smoked sausage
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 10 oz diced tomatoes (undrained)
- ½ cup milk or half and half
- 8 oz bowtie pasta (farfalle)
- ¼ tsp each salt and pepper (might need more after cooking)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large 12" skillet or Dutch oven that has a lid.
- While the oil is warming up, slice up the smoked sausage into discs. If desired, cut each of those in half for more bite-sized pieces. If needed, dice the onion and mince the garlic as well.
- Add the smoked sausage and diced onions to the skillet and cook until the sausage has started to brown and the onions have turned translucent. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients other than the shredded cheese (broth, tomatoes, milk, pasta, and seasonings). Bring the mixture to a boil. Ensure that as much of the pasta is covered with the liquid as possible.
- Reduce heat, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Stir once about halfway through cooking.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until it has melted. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
