This dish was very good. I didn't expect it to have much flavor, but I was wrong. It was very flavorful. Simple. Comes together quickly. The potatoes worked perfectly and added to the recipe. I will make again.
Recipe: The Food Nanny
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
4 small red potatoes, quartered
8 ounces Italian sausage
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb. green beans, cut in half
1 TBSP fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Romano, Asiago, or
Parmesan cheese, plus additional
1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain.
2. Steam the potatoes or cook them in boiling salted water until tender. At the same time, steam the beans or cook in the microwave until tender, 6 to 12 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion is soft and the sausage is completely cooked. Pour in the broth and simmer for 3 minutes.
Stir in the oil and butter until the butter melts. Add the green beans, potatoes, and pasta. Mix well with a large spoon. Add the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Decrease the heat to low and sprinkle 1/2 cup of the cheese over the mixture. Cover the pan and cook a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.
5. Serve immediately in the same pot or spoon the mixture into a large, shallow serving bowl or deep platter. Pass the extra cheese.
