Step by Step Method
Step 1
Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Add pasta; cook 5 minutes or until toasted, stirring frequently. Remove pasta from pan.
Step 3
Add the remaining oil, onion, and sausage to the pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble.
Step 4
Remove the sausage mixture from the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Return pasta to the pan. Add stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of stock is nearly absorbed before adding the next, stirring frequently.
Step 5
Stir in sausage mixture, juice, chiles, salt, and cheese. Garnish with oregano, if desired.
