Apple Chicken Sausage Pasta

Hey there! It is fall! YAY! Fall is my favorite!  I should be doing housework, since my house is a mess right now, but I am mildly hungover and I don't want to clean, so I blog! I should also be outside, since this is the first day the sun in shining in days, but I am mildly hungover and I don't want to go outside, so I blog! : )
 
And today I blog about a super yummy fall recipe. Colin said it is restaurant quality.  You all need to make it, enjoy eating it, and impress your loved ones with your restaurant quality skills! : )

 
 
It is from the Inspired by Charm blog, which you should check out if you have some spare time.
(does anyone have spare time these days?)  He has a pretty fabulous dining room. 
 
Excuse the dark kitchen iphone pictures : /  You can check out the pictures on the orginial post for some prettier images.  I need to figure out how to take better pictures for my recipe posts.  I also love this recipe since I get to use my large sauté pot, which I rarely use, but very much enjoy.




 
 
One Pan Apple Chicken Sausage Pasta
 
ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken apple sausage, sliced

(if not precooked-cook first)
 1/2 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 granny smith apple, chopped

any apple will do
 2 cups chicken broth
might need more
 1 (14.5 oz) can of tomatoes with green chilies
1/2 cup heavy cream
10 ounces pasta (I used Cellentani.)
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

cheddar works too
 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thinly for garnish

 
directions:
In a large oven-safe pan / skillet, add olive oil and set the temperature to medium high heat. Add in the onions and sausage and cook for about 5 minutes until brown. Then, put in the garlic and apples, cooking for about another minute.
Next, add the chicken broth, canned tomatoes, heavy cream, pasta, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil; then reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and let simmer until the pasta is cooked al dente.
Both time I have made this, the pasta was not done before running out of liquid, so I needed to keep adding more broth until the pasta tasted cooked.  This might be due to the fact I just use the whole box of pasta, and recipe called for less?  Idk ,just have extra broth ready, if you have the same issue.
 
Remove the pan from the heat and add 1/2 cup of cheese to the pasta. Stir to combine. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese melted.
Serve up, garnish with sliced green onions, and enjoy!


 


This pasta has so much flavor since it is boiled in all that good stuff!  We both end up grazing with forks right from the pan after our plates are done.  : )
