Spicy Pasta Bake with Sausage
Serves 4
If you want a less-spicy dish or can’t find Ro-Tel tomatoes, substitute 1 1/4 cups canned diced tomatoes. Andouille, linguica, or kielbasa sausage can be substituted for the chorizo.
1 pound chorizo sausage , halved lengthwise and sliced thin
1 onion , chopped fine
4 garlic cloves , minced
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10-ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes (see note)
1/2 cup heavy cream
12 ounces penne pasta
Salt and pepper
2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
4 scallions , sliced thin
1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat broiler. Cook chorizo and onion in large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to boil. Cover pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Off heat, uncover pan and stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and broil until cheese is melted and spotty brown, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions. Serve.
