    Ingredients in Sausage and Broccoli Pasta

    It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but don't worry, it's not complicated.

    • Ground Sausage: Feel free to use mild or hot. We love spicy, so I use hot. If you can't find ground sausage, you can always use links and cut the casing.
    • Garlic & Spices: These help develop flavor.
    • Chicken Broth: This gives the pasta a bit more flavor but you can also substitute with water (I've done it and still tastes delicious!)
    • Milk: The milk helps create a creamy sauce.
    • Pasta: I prefer to use penne pasta, but any type of pasta works for this recipe.
    • Broccoli: I always have frozen broccoli on hand so that's what I used.
    • Sour Cream: This helps adds creaminess to the pasta.
    • Cornstarch/Water: This helps thicken the mixture a bit.

    Let's Make It!

    This is one of those everything-into-one-pot recipe— the best!

    1. Cook the Sausage: In a large pot, start cooking the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks until browned— about 6-8 minutes.
    2. Add the Spices: We're using garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley, and oregano for optimal flavor.
    3. Add the Liquid: Stir in the chicken broth and milk. Allow this to come up to a boil before adding in the pasta.
    4. Add the Pasta: Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir in the pasta. A few minutes later, toss in the broccoli.
    5. Stir in the Sour Cream: Now it's time to make the pasta creamy. Stir in the sour cream and the cornstarch mixture.
    6. Eat: It's time to eat! Serve it on the table in the pot you cooked it in!

    This sausage and broccoli pasta takes advantage of those busy nights during the week. I love making this when we're short on time or want minimal clean up, or both! I can't praise this recipe enough— it's a true comfort dinner without all the work.

    This sausage and broccoli pasta is absolutely delicious. It's not only easy to make, but it's bursting with flavor, feeds a family, and keeps for days in the refrigerator for leftovers!

    We devoured this pasta for days. With just the two of us I had lunches all week. I may have even eaten it cold right out of the container.

    Description

    This sausage and broccoli pasta is absolutely delicious. It's not only easy to make, but it's bursting with flavor, feeds a family, and keeps for days in the refrigerator for leftovers!

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 1 pound ground Italian sausage, spicy or mild
    • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
    • 3 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 pound penne pasta
    • 1 pound frozen or fresh broccoli florets
    • 1/3 cup sour cream
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 teaspoon water, stirred together

    Instructions

    • In a deep skillet or dutch oven, add the olive oil and cook the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spatula as it cooks until browned— about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley, and oregano.
    • Stir in the chicken broth and milk. Allow the mixture to come up to a boil, then add in the pasta. Stir and place a lid on the pot and allow the pasta to start cooking. After 3 minutes, add in the broccoli. The cook time will vary depending on the type of pasta, but for penne is 10-11 minutes.
    • Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the sour cream and the corn starch mixture. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    1. Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: The sausage can be cooked up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The day of, start at step 2. This recipe can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat as desired.
    2. Chicken Broth: This adds more flavor, but you can also use water.
    3. Milk: Any type of milk works— I've used dairy-free milks too, typically oat milk.
    4. Pasta: This recipe works best with a short pasta like penne, rotini or rigatoni. The cook time will vary depending on the pasta that you use.
    5. Sour Cream: This helps create creaminess. I find that any type of sour cream works for this.
