One-Skillet Buffalo Sausage Pasta: A Spicy, Creamy Dinner Delight


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni)

  • 1 lb spicy Italian sausage, casings removed

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup buffalo sauce

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions

Cook Sausage:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.

Sauté Aromatics:
In the same skillet, add diced onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Liquids and Pasta:
Return sausage to the skillet. Stir in buffalo sauce, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.

Cook Pasta:
Add uncooked pasta to the skillet. Stir to combine and ensure pasta is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.

Add Cheese:
Stir in shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Serve:
Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.
