Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot, casings removed)
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 12 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease, if necessary.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
Add the uncooked penne pasta, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir again to ensure the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and cooked through.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Skillet Penne and Sausage Supper!
