One Pot Cheesy Pasta and Sausage
SERVES 6-8 | ACTIVE TIME 20 Min | TOTAL TIME 20 Minutes
Ingredients
3 cups halved grape tomatoes, divided1 large onion, sliced
1 pound smoked Italian sausage links, precooked (sliced into coins)
20-30 basil leaves, divided
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 pound dry linguine
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 1/2 cups water
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Reserve (set aside) 1 cup halved tomatoes, 10 basil leaves and cheese.
Instructions
Combine remaining ingredients in a large (12") braising pan or dutch oven over medium high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, remove cover and cook 7-9 minutes until pasta is al dente (with a bite to it). Toss pasta with tongs occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking. Liquid will be mostly absorbed when pasta is cooked.Add cheese and toss to combine. Cheese may clump but will melt into the sauce after a few minutes. Toss in remaining tomatoes and basil before serving.
Enjoy!
