Just Add Butter: Recipe 4

I adapted this great weeknight recipe from Kristen at the Yellow Bliss Road.  You can find her original recipe here!  Full cans & boxes are easier for me to measure out on a weeknight, so I tweaked the ingredients to work for us. 

One Pot Cheesy Sausage Pasta

Olive oil

One package of Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage

1 cup diced onion

Minced garlic (2 cloves)

1 can chicken broth

1 can diced tomatoes

½ cup milk

1 package Colby-Jack shredded cheese

1 box bowtie pasta

--Slice sausage & sauté in a large saucepan with olive oil and onion until browned

--Add garlic and cook for a quick minute

--Add chicken broth, milk, diced tomatoes, pasta and bring to a boil.

--Cover and reduce heat.

--Allow to simmer for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender

--Stir in ¾ of the package of cheese and turn off heat.  Allow the cheese to melt and top with any extra.

It was an easy one pot dish that I paired with some steam green beans and thick, crusty French bread for a quick, scrumptious weeknight meal.  And a great way to convince Coach to do clean up with only one pot!
