Cajun Sausage and Pasta Skillet

Ingredients

12-16 ounces smoked sausage
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 bell pepper, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1-3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning. How much to add depends on the brand you use and the heat level your family enjoys. I used the full 3 teaspoons
3 cups penne pasta
2 to 2 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Heat the oil over medium heat in a 10 or 12 inch skillet with a lid

Slice the sausage into rings

Cook the sausage, garlic, onion, and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes or until the sausage is brown and the vegetables are tender

Sprinkle with the seasoning

Add the pasta and chicken broth
Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a simmer

Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, or until pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed

Whisk together the milk and cornstarch
Add to pasta and sausage

Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until a sauce is formed.
