Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Package of pappardelle pasta nests
  • 12 oz Unexpected Cheddar chicken sausage sliced or any chicken sausage
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes or whole tomato diced
  • 1 Boursin cheese 5.2 oz
  • 2¼ cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook for about 2 minutes, just until lightly browned.
  2. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the pappardelle nests and place the whole Boursin cheese in the pan. Squeeze half of the lemon into the pot and place both the juiced lemon and the other half in the pot. Pour in the chicken broth.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the pasta nests separate.
  5. Once the pasta is mostly tender, remove the lid and continue simmering for 2–3 minutes, stirring until the Boursin melts and the sauce becomes creamy and coats the pasta.
  6. Finish with the zest and juice of the lemon and some salt and pepper. Stir everything together and serve.
