One Pot Rainy Dinner: Shells and Sausage

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 lb mild italian sausage
• 8 oz pasta shells
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
• 7 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (or mix of cheddar and a few ounces of mozzarella)
• 1/4 cups sun dried tomatoes
• 2 tsp italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until fully cooked.
2. Add the Italian seasoning and stir to combine.
3. Add the pasta shells and chicken stock to the skillet, stir to combine, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the lid and lower the heat, cook until al dente.
5. Add the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese (and optional mozzarella), and sun‑dried tomatoes. Stir on low heat.
6. Let it sit for a couple of minutes so the cheese melts and everything comes together.
7. Remove from heat. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.
