Ingredients
  

For the Pasta Skillet
  • 1 lb Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth for the sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 8 oz penne pasta uncooked
  • 4 cups chicken broth for cooking the pasta
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
For Garnish
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Large skillet with a lid
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Method
 

  1. Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, 1/4 cup chicken broth, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Pour the sauce into the skillet.
  4. Add the uncooked penne pasta and the remaining 4 cups of chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally.
  6. Mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Serve immediately. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
