One-Pot Sausage Broccoli Pasta
This One-Pot Sausage Broccoli Pasta is an easy weeknight dinner that comes together in less than 30 minutes. Creamy pasta, spicy sausage, and tender broccoli all in a one-pot dish.
Did you know today is National Pasta Day! Which is why I had to share this One-Pot Sausage Broccoli Pasta.
Every night around dinner time this One-Pan Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice starts going wild. I get it.
We’re all just trying to feed our kids something semi-healthy, preferably with a green vegetable (broccoli) in it but we don’t want to do dishes and we don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking.
I’m hosting Halloween Bunko this week and I’m cooking a ton of Halloween treats for that night so this week I’m all about easy dinners.
I ordered three costumes: Rockford Peach from A League of their Own, Merida from Brave, and Wednesday from the Addams family. You know costumes that actually didn’t show my hoo ha.
I ending up returning all of them. They were way too hot or just a hot mess. Any ideas? I’m all ears.
My last resort is a Rainbow Dash onesie. Kind of calling it in if I wear that but I have to have at least something to wear.
We all loved this easy dinner. Simple ingredients with a lot of flavor. We even use turkey sausage and don’t even miss regular sausage at all.
Plus, it helps me use up my Costco sized broccoli floret bag which I bought to make this Panera Broccoli and Cheddar Soup for Bunko.

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)
- 8 ounces spicy pork or turkey sausage
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 1/2 cups medium pasta shells (or any other small shape pasta)
- 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (more for topping)
-
In a pot or large saucepan with high sides, add the olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the onion and sautee for a couple of minutes. Add the sausage. Brown and crumble the sausage. Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds of cooking.
-
Pour in the chicken broth, cream, rosemary, pasta, and broccoli (see note). Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes or until sauce thickens (mine thickens around 12 minutes).
-
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and add salt if needed. Serve immediately with additional grated Parmesan cheese on top.
If you like your broccoli a little more firm add the broccoli halfway during cooking. We like ours on the tender side.
