Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
14 oz smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4″ rounds
1 cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can rotel – I used a small can of diced tomatoes and 1 small can of green chiles
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
8 oz brown rice penne pasta
Pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese – I used white aged cheddar
thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
Directions
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in an oven safe skillet until hot. Add the sausage and onion and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add the broth, rotel (tomatoes & chiles), yogurt, uncooked pasta, and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to mediumlow.
- Simmer until the pasta is tender, 15 minutes. Stir once or twice while cooking. Preheat the broiler while pasta is cooking.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in 1 cup of the cheese. Taste, and add salt as needed. Top with the scallions and remaining cheese.
- Enjoy!
