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 and some protein but we don’t want to do dishes and we don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking.

This one-pot pasta is a little different using Italian sausage. Of course if you like it spicy use a spicy pork sausage or you can add some red pepper flakes. If you want to lighten up some calories use some turkey sausage.

HOW TO MAKE THIS

      INSTRUCTIONS

    1. In a Dutch oven or large skillet with high sides, add the olive oil over medium-high heat.
    2. Add the onion and sautee for a couple of minutes. Add the ground sausage. Brown and crumble the sausage. Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds of cooking.
    3. Pour in the chicken broth, cream, rosemary, pasta, and broccoli (see note) scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes or until sauce thickens (mine thickens around 12 minutes).
    4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and add salt if needed. Serve immediately with additional grated Parmesan cheese on top

We all love this easy dinner. Simple ingredients with a lot of flavor. We even use turkey sausage sometimes 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.

Notes

If you like your broccoli a little more firm add the broccoli halfway during cooking. We like ours on the tender side.
