ONE-PAN PASTA

Have you ever heard of the Flavor Bible? Basically, it’s an entire book that lists ingredients and what goes well with each ingredient. Ingredients that go exceptionally well with the ingredient are listed in all caps. 

For example, under the ingredient tomatoes, ONION, GARLIC, and BASIL are all in caps.

Why am I telling you this? This is how this recipe came about. I had some sun-dried tomatoes, onion, sausage, and broccoli that I was trying to make a meal out of. The result. It was fantastic!

One-Pan Sausage, Broccoli, and Sun-dried Tomato Pasta is spicy, creamy, and done in 30 minutes.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage, (hot or mild)
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 ½ cups small broccoli florets
  • 2 cups uncooked small pasta
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat and onion until sausage is no longer pink. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove meat mixture to a plate. Drain, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
  • Add the chicken broth, cream, broccoli, pasta. and sun-dried tomatoes to the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover with a lid.
  • Cook for 7-9 minutes at a low simmer, stirring intermittently but replacing the lid quickly. Cook until pasta is done. You may need to add more liquid and cook longer if your pasta is not tender. If you like your broccoli more on the crisp side add it later and not when you add the pasta.
  • Add the meat mixture back to the pan and stir. Add Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with basil.
