1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound smoked sausage
1 1/2 cups onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (10 ounce) Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chiles, Mild

8 ounces penne pasta
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each

Steps:

Add olive oil to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, tomatoes, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low.

Broil until cheese is melted, spotty brown, and bubbly.
