Ingredients
1 lb ground Italian sausage, Hot or Mild
1 lb lean ground beef
1 Tblsp extra virgin olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1 tsp garlic, minced
10 oz cherry tomatoes, quartered
3 cups chicken broth
½ cup half & half
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup Colby jack cheese, shredded
¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
Basil or parsley for garnish
Directions
In a large pot over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add sausage and beef and cook through, until brown.
Transfer to a plate and keep warm. In the same pan add onions and cook until softened (about 5-8 minutes).
Add garlic. Cook for one more minute, or until fragrant.
Add tomatoes, broth, cream, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, cavatappi, and cooked sausage, stir to combine. Press noodles down slightly so they are fully covered with the liquid.
Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is cooked al dente. Stir occasionally.
Remove pot from heat. Add cheeses and stir together until cheeses are melted. Let rest, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Garnish and serve hot.
