A kid-friendly but still sophisticated pasta dish with chicken sausage. Can easily be modified to your liking. We used a mixture of pastas (penne, farfalle, rotini) because 2-year-old Brian mixed the boxes together!
Ingredients
- 1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound fresh chicken sausage, casings removed
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon pesto
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes in juice
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken sausage and onion. Cook until chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and mix in pesto. Add tomatoes with juice and chicken broth. Simmer sauce until slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Pour cream into the sauce. Simmer until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce into the pot of cooked penne. Mix thoroughly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese to your liking.
