Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic

1 cup chopped yellow onion

1 (12 ounce) package Aidells® Cajun Andouille Sausage, sliced thinly

2 cups chicken broth

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil. Add minced garlic, onions and sausage slices. Cook about 3 minutes, or until sausage is lightly browned and onions are tender, stirring frequently.

Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes and green chiles in their juices, heavy cream (or milk), pasta, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, or to maintain a simmer. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.
