Mildly Spicy Sausage Pasta
Mildly Spicy Sausage Pasta (Modified from Emily Bites)
1 t extra virgin olive oil
1 t Onion Powder (or 1 cup of diced onions)
13 oz Smoked Turkey Sausage, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low sodium fat free chicken broth
10 oz can Ro-Tel tomatoes & green chiles, mild
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1/2 cup of 1% milk
½ t salt
½ t black pepper
16 oz. Cavatappi Macaroni pasta
8 oz. shredded queso quesadilla cheese (Kroger brand)
2 medium scallions, diced (I skipped these)
Directions:
1. In a large oven safe skillet or sauté pan, add the olive oil and bring over medium heat. Add the onion powder and sausage to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until sausage is browned. Add the garlic and stir. Continue to cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Add the broth, Ro-Tel, soup, milk, salt and pepper and mix together. Add the uncooked pasta and stir together until the liquid covers the pasta. Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and keep covered. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked (this is a dense pasta)
3. Set your oven to broil and remove the pan from the heat and mix in 2/3 of the shredded cheese.
4. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the pasta and follow it with the (optional) sliced scallions. Place the dish in the top 1/3 of the oven and broil for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
