Ingredients

1 lb hot italian sausage
2 tbsp olive oil (optional)
12 oz linguine
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
fresh basil (optional)

Steps

Form the sausage into small meatballs using your hands.
Heat oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs for 4 minutes, turning often.
Add chicken broth, marinara sauce, and enough water to cover the linguine, then bring the liquid to a boil.
Break the linguine in half, add it to the skillet, and simmer uncovered for 7 to 9 minutes until tender and the meatballs reach 160 F.
Stir in mozzarella until melted, then top with basil and Parmesan.
