I saw a form of this on Pinterest, and knew I needed to make it. The original was kind of a spicy Mexican dish, but I thought it would be better Italian style. Our family LOVED this dish!! The best part to me was that it took about 25 minutes to make and it’s ALL IN ONE PAN! I needed a dinner like this to put in my rotation because I’m so burnt out on dinner. There’s basically no prep and you put everything in one pan, put the lid on, set the timer and dinner’s done in about 15 minutes. Life saver. An I can’t believe how delicious it is! LOVE, love love it.
1 lb smoked sausage (beef or turkey), cut into bite sized pieces
8 ounces penne pasta
1 small onion, diced small
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1 can Italian diced tomatoes
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
In a large skillet, add about 1T olive oil and heat on medium high. Add sausage, onions and garlic and cook until lightly browned. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, milk and pasta with a little salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to medium low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Then enjoy this one-pot wonder! This fed my family of 2 adults and 3 small children perfectly with no leftovers. Enjoy!

To be honest I also prefer Italian cuisine. It's not as heavy and caloric as Mexican. Some Mexican food is so spicy that it's hard to eat them. In the Italian cuisine can be found many recipes for pasta, so I very often looking for an interesting recipes. I think my family will love this recipe too.
