Description
This creamy Chicken Apple Sausage One Pan Pasta brings together smoky-sweet sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and tender pasta in a garlicky Parmesan cream sauce—all cooked in a single skillet. A cozy, flavorful dish perfect for easy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
12 oz chicken apple sausage, sliced
8 oz linguine or fettuccine pasta
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken apple sausage and cook until golden brown on both sides.
2. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Pour in chicken broth and add uncooked pasta. Stir to submerge noodles, then bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Once pasta is nearly cooked, stir in heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer uncovered for 3–4 minutes to thicken.
5. Turn off heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.
6. Top with fresh basil, stir, and serve immediately.
Notes
Stir pasta occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even doneness.
For extra veggies, toss in fresh spinach or zucchini with the cream step.
To reheat, add a splash of broth or cream to restore the creamy consistency.
