One Pot Cheesy Sausage Pasta Recipe with Video
One Pot Sausage Pasta is ready in just 20 minutes. With plump tomatoes and plenty of fresh basil, it's a family favorite comfort food meal!
Ingredients
- 3 cups grape tomatoes cut in half and divided
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 pound smoked Italian sausage links precooked and sliced into coins
- 20-30 basil leaves divided
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 pound dry linguine (See Notes)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 4 1/2 cups water or beef or chicken broth
- 1 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Set aside 1 cup halved tomatoes, 10 basil leaves, and all of the Parmesan cheese.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a 12-inch braising pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, remove the cover and cook 7-9 minutes, or until pasta is al dente (with a bite to it). Toss pasta with tongs occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking. The liquid will be mostly absorbed when pasta is finished cooking.
- Add cheese and toss to combine. Cheese may clump at first, but will melt into the sauce after a few minutes. Toss in remaining tomatoes and basil before serving.

Notes
- Use your favorite sausage. I prefer Italian sausage links.
- You can substitute 1 pound of any type of dry pasta for the spaghetti. Linguine and fettucine are great options. Just be sure to cook the pasta to al dente (meaning, with a slight bite to it).
