  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 11-13 minutes.

    Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander and set aside.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Halve and peel onion. Thinly slice one half (remaining half is yours to use as you please!).

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  3. 3

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add Italian sausage to hot pan and break up into small pieces until browned and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Transfer Italian sausage to a plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil, broccoli, and onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly tender, 5-7 minutes.

    Add marinara, softened cream cheese, half the reserved pasta cooking water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, add pasta and Italian sausage and stir until combined, 30-60 seconds.

    If too thick, add remaining pasta cooking water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Remove from burner.
