Ingredients
12 oz Kielbasa sausage, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
3 cups uncooked pasta (penne or rotini work well)
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped scallions (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add sliced kielbasa and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add pasta, chicken broth, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in shredded cheddar until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve warm.
