Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne or fusilli)
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened.
  2. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned.
  3. Stir in the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, honey, and pasta.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until pasta is cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Keep an eye on the pasta; you want it al dente, not mushy. This dish can be made vegan by using plant-based sausage and vegetable broth.
