Spicy Sausage Pasta

1 Tbsp. olive oil

14 oz. smoked turkey sausage

1.5 cups diced onions

2 Tbsp. minced garlic

2 cups chicken broth (I used a 14.5 oz can)

1 (10 oz.) can Rotel tomatoes, not drained

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

8 oz. farafalle pasta

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions, optional

Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions  and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt, and pepper; stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Yesterday I finally found the energy to make something for dinner. With little one due next month, I can't remember the last time I actually felt like getting into the kitchen and making something. My poor husband has been stuck eating out, or eating fast food, which isn't all that bad, but after a while it gets old, and I was starting to feel like a horrible wife! And mommy-to-be! I was determined to make something last night, and I am so glad that I decided to make this. It is a one pot meal, which is wonderful. Not only that, but it tasted absolutely amazing. Thanks again to Pinterest, we have now found another recipe that will be added to our regular rotation (once I feel like rotating again!).
