One Pot Sausage Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (1 can)
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 12 ounces pasta (such as penne or fusilli, uncooked)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, for serving)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, pasta, broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.

5. 5

   Simmer the pasta for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. You may have to stir occasionally to make sure the pasta doesn't stick to the pot.

6. 6

   Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
