Description
Prepare a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner using this one-pan recipe featuring savory sausage coated in a sweet and sticky honey garlic glaze served with pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces rotini or bowtie pasta
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, heavy cream, honey, soy sauce, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Pour the liquid mixture into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the uncooked pasta and Italian seasoning. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Use smoked sausage or fully cooked Italian sausage for the best texture and flavor in this quick skillet meal.
- If the sauce becomes too thick before the pasta is done, add a splash more broth or water.
- For a slight kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
