Instruction

  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil. Add minced garlic, onions and sausage slices. Cook about 3 minutes, or until sausage is lightly browned and onions are tender, stirring frequently.
  • Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes and green chiles in their juices, heavy cream (or milk), pasta, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, or to maintain a simmer. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.
