One Pot Cheesy Pasta and Sausage

I’ll be honest, I was surprised at how good this was!  It seemed so easy and so fast that I didn’t have high expectations but it was really good.

3 cups halved grape tomatoes (I used 2 cans of diced tomatoes with liquid)

1 large onion, sliced

1 pound smoked Italian sausage links, precooked and sliced into coins

20 – 30 basil leaves

4 garlic cloves, pressed

1 pound dry linguine

1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt

1 teaspoon pepper

4 1/2 cups water

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1  Combine all ingredients except cheese in Dutch oven over medium high heat.  Cover and bring to a boil.  Remove cover and cook 7 – 9 minutes until pasta is al dente.  Toss pasta with tongs occasionally to keep from sticking.

2  Add cheese and toss to combine.
