A quick and flavorful one pot garlic sausage pasta that combines savory sausage, tender pasta, and a garlicky sauce for an easy weeknight dinner.
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces Italian sausage, sliced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
8 ounces penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced Italian sausage and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and water, then add penne pasta, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley until well combined.
Serve immediately.
