Ingredients

1 package (19-1/2 ounces) Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1 can (28 ounces) whole plum tomatoes with basil
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added whole tomatoes
4 cups uncooked spiral pasta (about 12 ounces)
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup crumbled goat or feta cheese

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook and crumble sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop tomatoes, reserving juices.
Add tomatoes and reserved juices to sausage; stir in pasta, broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, uncovered, until pasta is al dente, 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with cheese.
