Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb hot Italian sausage, loose, removed from casings
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for serving
12 ounces linguine, broken in half
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
fresh basil, for serving
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving
1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced (optional)

Steps:

Form sausage into sixteen 1 ½-inch meatballs.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat. When smoking, add meatballs. Sear, flipping halfway through and only when meatballs release from skillet, about 2 minutes per side.
Add linguine, chicken broth, and marinara. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 7-8 minutes, until noodles are al dente. Drizzle skillet with olive oil and serve immediately, garnished with basil and parmesan. Optional: top with slices of mozzarella and transfer to broiler until cheese is bubbling and golden in spots, about 3-4 minutes.
