French Onion Sausage Pasta

  

Found this recipe scrolling through Instagram and it sounded delicious, so I saved it and then yesterday, hubby asked what would taste good for dinner?  I immediately thought of this recipe.  It is a one pan recipe so clean up is easy and it came together in about 40 minutes.  We paired this with a garden salad, a glass of wine because we had to open a bottle for the recipe. 😁  It was very tasty and there were plenty of leftovers to enjoy for lunches or Refrigerator Review Night. 

1 lb. Jones Pork Sausage Roll

1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. butter

2 yellow onions, sliced into half moons
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup white wine
1 bunch thyme (about 10 sprigs)

1 lb. dried rigatoni
4 cups beef broth
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
 1/2 cup half & half 
 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  parsley & parmesan cheese for topping

 In a large dutch oven, heat to medium-high. Add olive oil and once hot, add sausage. Break into small pieces and cook until no longer pink. Drain grease from sausage and set aside in bowl.

 In same pot, add butter. Once melted, add sliced onions and salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions have begun to caramelize and brown.

 Add in white wine to deglaze bottom of pan, scraping brown bites as you stir. Add in thyme and cook for 2 minutes.

 Pour in pasta and beef broth and cover with lid. Stir every 2-3 minutes, and cook until pasta is cooked to your liking, about 10-12 minutes. Turn off heat and take out bunches of thyme.

Add sausage back into pasta. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, half and half, and grated parmesan cheese and stir until creamy. Serve and top with more parmesan cheese and parsley.
