Tummy rumbles....

Tonight Menu: Spicy Sausage Pasta

Want to make this with me? 

Serves: 6 

What You'll Need:

(cheese not pictured - hey, I forgot)

• 10 oz of pasta (I used farfalle or bow tie) 
• 13 oz of turkey sausage (I used plain but for extra heat, get a hot/spicy variety)
•  1/2 cup half and half
• 2 cups of stock/broth (I used Vegetable stock - lower sodium than chicken)
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1 tsp of black pepper
• 2 Tbsp of minced garlic 
• 1 cup of diced onions (I used frozen, saves time & tears) 
• 2 Tbsp of olive oil 
• Small bunch of green onions or 2 scallions 
• 4 oz of pepper jack cheese 
• 1 Tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 10 oz Rotel Tomatoes and Chiles (I used Hot) 

Preparation:

• Heat olive oil to medium heat and saute diced onions and diced sausage links in skillet (about 5 minutes or until onions are translucent and sausage begins to brown).
• Stir in minced garlic for about 30 seconds

NOTE: Garlic burns easily. Watch carefully

• Stir in Half and Half, Broth, salt, pepper and Rotel.
• Add uncooked pasta, completely integrate into mixture. Cover and reduce heat to medium low cooking for 15 minutes.  
• Stir to ensure all pasta is cooking evenly. (no one wants to get that one hard bow-tie) 
• Once pasta is almost done, stir in diced pepper jack cheese. 
• Top with green onions, a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, plate, serve and Enjoy!
