Easy Sausage & Broccoli Boursin Pasta
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1 lb Italian sausage I like Cantella’s Spicy Italian
- 4 cups broccoli about 1 head cut into pieces
- 3 tbs salted butter
- 2 Boursin garlic & herb cheese 5.2 oz each
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tbs red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Boil salted water and cook pasta al dente. Don’t forget to save at least 1 cup pasta water! I save a little extra and use it to reheat leftovers.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook your sausage & break up into bite sized pieces.
- Cut broccoli into smaller pieces (unless it’s precut) & steam until tender. I prefer leaving it “al dente” as well because I like larger pieces. But you can make it softer and it will break up into smaller, soft pieces.
- In your large pan, combine your cooked pasta & cheese. Stirring over low-medium heat until melted. Add about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of pasta water while stirring. Stir in olive oil & lemon juice.
- Season with salt, pepper & red pepper flakes. Then stir in your cooked sausage & broccoli. Enjoy!
