Easy Cheesy Sausage & Long Bean Skillet Pasta
Sounds really good and readily available ingredients, several shortcuts are listed to make this a very economical dish. Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams Italian sausage, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 small onion, diced
- 400 grams dry Penne pasta, cooked and drained
- 2 cups fresh long beans, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 3 cups tomato pasta sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- 2-3 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- olive oil, as needed
- fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large deep skillet and brown the sausage, onion, and long beans until the sausage is cooked through and the beans are tender.
- Mix in the cooked pasta then stir in the pasta sauce. Add the cheese on top and let melt, OR you can use an oven safe pan and put in the broiler for a few minutes to melt the cheese, OR, just mix the cheese in and let it melt. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
Unless you can find bulk Italian sausage, you may need to make the shortcut, I will base the pricing on home made sausage (so easy!). 500 grams of minced pork is about 55 Baht, the cheese however is about 142 to 210 Baht, depending if you want to use 2 cups or 3 cups (figure 100 grams (block type) per cup shredded. For 8 servings using 2 cups of cheese, this is about 75 cents per serving. Make the sauce yourself for more savings.
