How to Make Chicken Sausage Pasta Skillet

To get started, add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook according to the directions to al dente.

Gluten Free Pasta

This penne skillet can be made with just about any pasta. We chose a gluten free pasta to make it more accommodating to a wider variety of guests. Traditional pasta and whole wheat pasta are both great options as well. I also like to use protein pasta for a healthier meal with even more nutrients.

White Wine Cream Sauce

While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet over medium high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the sliced chicken apple sausage for 4-5 minutes. Add the sliced shallots to the pan and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the sausage is browned and the shallots are softened.

Deglaze the pan with white wine and reduce until most of the wine is evaporated. We like to use a Pinot Grigio, which is great for cooking. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream and salt and pepper to the pan and bring to a simmer. You can also use pasta water in place of the chicken broth if you don’t want to open a container of chicken broth for the recipe.

Drain and toss the pasta with the sauce and let the pasta cook within the sauce for a minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
