Brian'S Chicken Sausage Pesto Pasta

• 1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound fresh chicken sausage, casings removed
• 1/3 cup diced onion
• 1 tablespoon pesto
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes in juice
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken sausage and onion. Cook until chicken is browned and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and mix in pesto. Add tomatoes with juice and chicken broth. Simmer sauce until slightly reduced, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Pour cream into the sauce. Simmer until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce into the pot of cooked penne. Mix thoroughly. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese to your liking.
