Want a great 'one pot meal' to add to your recipe rotation? Try this sausage & pasta dish. You can spice this up with Spicy Chorizo sausage or tone it down with Keilbasa. Same with the tomatoes you add into this dish and the cheese - think Rotel for spice and pepperjack cheese... I make mine with fire roasted tomatoes, cheddar and a slighty spicy chroizo which flavors the entire dish. I love the sauce that this recipe creates. Served with a side salad - its a great meal. Enjoy! ~Diane
Chorizo & Pasta {One Pot} Meal Ingredients 1 pound chorizo sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced thin 1 onion, chopped fine 4 garlic cloves, minced 3 cups chicken broth 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes 1/2 cup heavy cream 12 ounces pasta, I use cellentani (corkscrew) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese Directions Cook sliced chorizo and chopped onion in large oven-safe pot (I use my 4 quart dutch oven), over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt, and pepper and bring to boil. Cover pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover pan and check on liquid level, you want the broth to be cooked down enough that it starts creating a creamy 'sauce'. If it is too think, let entire dish cook another 5 minutes, if needed you can stir in a cornstarch slurry mix (cornstarch and cold water mixed together) to thicken up the sauce. Once the sauce is to your liking, stir in 3/4 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and set under broiler in oven, until cheese is melted and spotty brown, about 3 minutes. Serves 4.
