  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Combine ricotta, half the garlic pepper (reserve remaining for sauce), and 1 Tbsp. water in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Combine 1 1/2 cups water and cornstarch in another mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    Place a large oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and Italian sausage to hot pan. Break into smaller pieces until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Transfer sausage to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Cook the Broccoli

    Return pan used to cook sausage to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add broccoli, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until tender, 5-7 minutes.

    Transfer broccoli to plate with sausage. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pan used to cook sausage and broccoli to medium-low heat.

    Add cream sauce, tomatoes, remaining garlic pepper, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and cornstarch mixture to hot pan. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir constantly until thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  5. 5

    Bake Pasta and Finish Dish

    Add sausage, broccoli, pasta, and a pinch of salt to pan with sauce. Stir to combine. Gently press pasta and sauce down to form an even layer. Top evenly with cheese.

    Transfer pan to hot oven and bake until edges are bubbling and cheese is golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Pan handle will be hot! Use an oven mitt.
