One Pot Cheesy Smoked Sausage and Pasta Skillet

I like keeping some smoked sausage in the freezer because 1) it thaws really quickly if I am in a hurry, 2) it is very versatile.  This recipe was a unique twist to the smoke sausage.

You can use any shaped small pasta.  I had penne in the pantry.

Slice the sausage into small rounds.

Put the sausage and chopped onions in a pot on the stove with a little olive oil to brown.

Add a little chopped garlic after the onions are browned.

Add 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream to the pot.  I had cream so I used it.

Add 1 10 oz can chopped tomatoes

2 cups chicken broth.

8 oz pasta.  Which is half the large box.

Stir it well.  Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.  Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.

Turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of cheese.

Dish up and add a little extra cheese on top and a sprinkling of green onions.
