Creamy pesto chicken sausage pasta with savory broth for a family-friendly meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 1 pound fresh chicken sausage, casings removed
  • 0.33333334326744 cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon pesto
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes in juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Boil a large pot of lightly salted water until bubbling. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until perfectly al dente, approximately 11 minutes. Drain and transfer back to the pot.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken sausage and onion until chicken is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Mix in pesto, then add tomatoes with juice and chicken broth. Simmer until sauce slightly thickens, 5-10 minutes on low heat.
  • Drizzle cream into the sauce and simmer until it thickens to your liking, for about 5 to 10 minutes. Combine the sauce with the cooked penne, ensuring it's evenly coated. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes before serving. Top with as much shredded Parmesan cheese as you desire for a finishing touch.
