This recipe is your ticket to a delicious dinner without the fuss. With just one pot, you’ll create a hearty sausage and broccoli bowtie pasta that’s as easy on cleanup as it is on your taste buds.

Start by browning a pound of Italian sausage in a large pot. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Toss in finely chopped onions and minced garlic, letting them mingle with the savory sausage.

Now, add in two cups of broccoli florets and a pound of bowtie pasta. Give it a good stir to mix everything evenly.

Time to amp up the flavor! Pour in a can of diced tomatoes and three cups of chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then let it simmer with the lid on until the pasta reaches that perfect al dente texture, around 15 minutes.

To make it creamy, introduce a half cup of heavy cream and sprinkle in some Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into a creamy, dreamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.

Let the pot rest for a bit before serving. Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a final touch of freshness.

Notes

Customize the dish by adding red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or extra vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthier option.
Make sure to keep an eye on the liquid levels during cooking. If needed, add more broth to achieve the desired consistency.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of broth to maintain the creaminess.
