Spicy Sausage Pasta

I stole this recipe from another blog and tried it tonight.  It was really good!  I didn't have the Ro-Tel tomatoes, so I used regular diced tomatoes and added a few diced up jalapeno slices.  I used half and half instead of heavy cream, and the spiral pasta instead of penne.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage
1.5 cups diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (10 oz) can Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies, Mild
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions

Cooking Info:
1. Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Remove skillet from heat and stir in 1/2 cup cheese. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with scallions. Broil until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly

Serve With: Salad or cooked veggies
