ONE PAN CHICKEN APPLE SAUSAGE PASTA

Hey there, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was WAY behind in my bookkeeping (my least favorite part about being self-employed), so I spent most of the day catching up on that. Before I knew it, the clock read 7 PM, and the day was gone. Apparently time also flies when you're not having fun. Lately I've been planning some ideas for fall decor, and in all honesty, I'm really stressed out about it. In the past, I didn't do much indoor fall decorating. 

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound chicken apple sausage, sliced
• 1/2 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 granny smith apple, chopped
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 (14.5 oz) can of tomatoes with green chilies
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 10 ounces pasta (I used Cellentani.)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thinly for garnish

INTRUCTIONS :

1. In a large oven-safe pan / skillet, add olive oil and set the temperature to medium high heat. Add in the onions and sausage and cook for about 5 minutes until brown. Then, put in the garlic and apples, cooking for about another minute.
2. Next, add the chicken broth, canned tomatoes, heavy cream, pasta, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil; then reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and let simmer until the pasta is cooked al dente.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1/2 cup of cheese to the pasta. Stir to combine. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Broil in the oven until the cheese melted.
4. Serve up, garnish with sliced green onions, and enjoy!
