Description
A comforting one-pot sausage pasta dish that combines bold flavors and effortless cooking for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken sausage
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 29 oz crushed tomatoes
- 5 cups water
- 16 oz penne or rotini pasta
- 1 ½ Cups grated parmesan cheese
- ½ Cup fresh basil (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat a very large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and olive oil. Cook until the sausage is browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Stir in the garlic and oregano and cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.
- Add the canned tomatoes, water, and uncooked pasta. Stir everything together, making sure the pasta is coated and mostly submerged in the liquid.
- Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Stir every few minutes so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pasta is tender, turn off the heat. Stir in the fresh basil and Parmesan cheese until everything is evenly combined.
Notes
For a vegan option, swap chicken sausage for crumbled tofu or tempeh and use plant-based parmesan. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
