Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 4-5

Ingredients:

2 T. olive oil

1 lb. Kielbasa (or any sausage you prefer)

1 C. onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

3 C. pasta, whatever kind of pasta your heart desires

1 can chopped tomatoes with chilies

2 C. milk

1 C. chicken stock

1, 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese

What to do:

On medium high heat and in a large skillet heat olive oil, add onions and sausage. Cook until onions are soft, and sausage is starting to brown, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for an additional minute.

Stir in pasta, tomatoes, milk, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook for 10-12 minutes until pasta is tender. Take off heat and stir in cheese until well combined. The sauce will thicken as it sits about 5 minutes then serve.
