Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or hot, casings removed)
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 12 ounces penne pasta, uncooked
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease, if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the uncooked penne pasta, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir again to ensure the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Once the pasta is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Skillet Penne and Sausage Supper!
