Spicy Meatball Skillet

Description

"Use pre-made sausage for easy, flavorful meatballs."

Ingredients

  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage, loose, removed from casings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for serving
  • 12 ounces linguine, broken in half
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1⁄4 cups marinara sauce
  • fresh basil, for serving
  • freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving
  • 1⁄2 lb mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions

  1. Form sausage into sixteen 1 ½-inch meatballs.
  2. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat. When smoking, add meatballs. Sear, flipping halfway through and only when meatballs release from skillet, about 2 minutes per side.
  3. Add linguine, chicken broth, and marinara. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 7-8 minutes, until noodles are al dente. Drizzle skillet with olive oil and serve immediately, garnished with basil and parmesan. Optional: top with slices of mozzarella and transfer to broiler until cheese is bubbling and golden in spots, about 3-4 minutes.
