One Pan Orecchiette Pasta
This delicious orecchiette pasta recipe only has a handful of ingredients, is very not expensive and easy to make, and most importantly, only uses one pan or pot for the entire procedure.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ onion diced
- salt to taste
- 8 ounces spicy Italian sausages casings removed (I used Spicy Chicken Sausage)
- 3 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth divided, or as needed
- 1 ¼ cups orecchiette pasta or more to taste
- ½ cup roughly chopped arugula or to taste
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese or to taste
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion with a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in sausage and cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups chicken broth into sausage mixture and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Add orecchiette pasta; cook and stir pasta in hot broth, adding remaining broth when liquid is absorbed, until pasta is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Stir arugula into sausage-pasta mixture until arugula wilts.
- Ladle pasta into bowls and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
