**Pasta Diablo Copycat**
**Ingredients:**
– 8 oz linguine
– 1 lb spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
– 1 small onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp dried basil
– 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy Italian sausage, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken broth, heavy cream, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
