Spicy Sausage Pasta

Loved this recipe! It was a nice "go to" meal on a crazy Monday night. It was so nice to just throw together the ingredients let it simmer and Voila!

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage
1.5 cups diced onion (I would highly recommend buying frozen chopped onion, this was my first time using it and it was so convenient. Rather than doing the whole chopping of the onion, crying, clean up etc. And you don't even to have to unthaw it just measure it throw it in and you are good to go!)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chiles, Mild
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

1. Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

2. Add broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.

3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly.
