Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces orecchiette pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground Italian sausage
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
½ cup diced green onion
1 bunch broccolini, sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups half-and-half
6 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and orecchiette and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large (10-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard most of the fat. Transfer cooked sausage to a bowl and return skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Add bell pepper and green onion to the skillet. Saute until white of onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add broccolini and garlic; saute until broccolini is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes more. Set vegetables aside.
  • Melt butter in a larger skillet over medium heat. Add half-and-half and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add cream cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add cooked sausage and vegetables to the skillet. Stir in drained pasta. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLINI



Pasta With Sausage and Broccolini image

This is a really flavorful, easy to make pasta dish. The broccolini is a hybrid vegetable of broccoli and Chinese Kale. It is more tender and sweet than broccoli and less fibrous. Most of it is edible from the stalks to the florets. It really makes the dish better than the usual broccoli or broccoli rabe.
