Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 8 oz linguine or fettuccine pasta you can use any pasta shape you prefer, but these options hold the sauce beautifully!
For the Sausage
  • 12 oz chicken apple sausage, sliced this brings a sweet and savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce.
For the Flavor
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced ramps up the flavor; for a milder taste, you can sauté shallots instead.
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped adds a rich tanginess; feel free to substitute with fresh tomatoes for a lighter touch.
  • ¾ cup heavy cream ensures a luscious sauce; half-and-half can be used as a lighter alternative.
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese introduces a nutty flavor; pecorino Romano is a great substitute if you want to mix it up.
For the Cooking
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth this enhances the dish's overall flavor; vegetable broth could work well for a vegetarian twist.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil used for sautéing; can be replaced with butter for a richer taste.
For the Garnish
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped adds freshness; if you don’t have fresh, dried basil can still bring a hint of flavor.

Equipment

  • large skillet

Method
 

How to Make Chicken Apple Sausage One Pan Pasta
  1. Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced chicken apple sausage and cook on both sides until beautifully golden brown.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until it's fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add uncooked pasta. Gently stir to ensure the noodles are submerged, then cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Once the pasta is almost tender, stir in the heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Allow it to simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens beautifully.
  6. Turn off the heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted.
  7. Top with fresh basil, give it a final stir, and serve immediately.
