10m20m30m
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage until browned.
- Add diced onions and garlic, cooking until softened.
- Stir in diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Mix in uncooked macaroni and enough water to just cover the pasta. Cook until macaroni is tender.
- Lower the heat, and stir in grated cheese until melted and creamy.
- Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to taste.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet.
Notes
Keep the heat at a gentle simmer so the pasta cooks evenly without sticking.
Add an extra splash of water if the sauce reduces before the macaroni is tender.
