How to Make Creamy Pasta Tomato With Italian Sausage

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage (or ground meat of your choice) in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup water.
  3. Bring the broth mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) margarine, 1 lb elbow macaroni, and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Drain the cooked macaroni and set aside.
  6. In the same large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) margarine over medium heat.
  7. Stir in 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk and 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese). Mix until the cheese is melted and smooth.
  8. Add 1 (46-ounce) can V8 juice, 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed tomato soup, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
  9. Add the cooked macaroni and browned sausage to the sauce. Stir gently to coat everything evenly. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  10. Top with extra cheese, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
