3 c. halved grape tomatoes, divided
1 large onion, sliced
1 lb smoked Italian sausage links, precooked (sliced into coins)
20-30 basil leaves, divided
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 lb dry linguine
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
4 1/2 c. water
1 c. shredded Parmesan cheese
HOW TO MAKE ONE-POT CHEESY PASTA AND SAUSAGE
Step 1: Keep a cup of halved tomatoes, 10 basil leaves, and cheese aside.
Step 2: In a large 12-inch braising pan or Dutch oven, mix the rest of the ingredients. Put the lid on and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Take the lid off once the water is boiling and continue to cook for 7 to 9 minutes until the pasta is al dente. Using tongs, occasionally toss the pasta to keep them from sticking.
Step 3: To the pasta, add the cheese and toss to combine. Add the rest of the tomatoes and basil, then serve. Enjoy!
NOTES:
For this recipe, you can use your preferred sausage such as Italian sausage (my favourite).
For the spaghetti, you can use a pound of any dry pasta and cook until al dente.
A tip to slice the tomatoes: Take 2 same size lids. Take the first lid and position its tip facing up. Fill it with cherry tomatoes. Top with the second lid, lip facing down. Now, press the top lid firmly, being very careful not to squish the tomatoes. Between the lids, slide a serrated knife and carefully slice through the tomatoes.
