225 g small dry pasta
03 -
283 g canned diced tomatoes
04 -
2 garlic cloves, minced
05 -
2.5 ml salt
06 -
120 ml milk or heavy cream
07 -
225 g diced onion

450 g smoked kielbasa or turkey/chicken sausage, sliced 0.5 cm thick
→ Finishing Ingredients
11 -
15 g thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
12 -
100 g shredded Cheddar cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss some scallions over everything and dig in while it's steaming hot.
02 -
Pile that rest of the cheese on top, cover up, and wait till it's all nice, bubbly, and a little golden.
03 -
Take the skillet off the heat and fold in half the Cheddar till it melts in smooth.
04 -
Let it bubble gently with no lid for about 15 minutes, giving it a stir every now and then. The pasta should get soft and that sauce will thicken a bit.
05 -
Dump in your chicken broth, those canned diced tomatoes (juice and all), the dry pasta, milk or cream, along with the salt and pepper. Give it a good stir so it all mixes together.
06 -
Toss in the garlic, keep everything moving, and cook about half a minute till you can really smell it.
07 -
Now slide in the sausage slices and chopped onion. Let them sizzle till the sausage gets a little color and the onions look clear.
08 -
Start by pouring the olive oil into a deep pan or skillet (around 4–5 litres) and turn the stove to medium-high.
