Bow Tie Pasta
Bow tie pasta is one-pot dinner recipe the whole family will love! Made with farfalle, Italian sausage, broccoli, and a cheesy sauce, it’s ready in 30 minutes.
Prep: 10min
Total: 30min
Yield: 4 – 6 serving(s)
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. mild Italian pork sausage, casing removed
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 lb. bow tie pasta
- 3 c. chicken broth
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 4 c. small broccoli florets (from 1 8-oz. piece of broccoli)
- 1/2 c. julienned sun-dried tomatoes, drained of oil
- 1/3 c. heavy cream
- 1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- Red chili flakes, for serving (optional)
Instruction:
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the sausage. Cook, breaking the sausage into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until it is golden brown and no longer pink, about 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the sausage to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic cloves. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the pasta, broth, 2 cups of water, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium or medium low to keep it simmering for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in the broccoli. Cover the pot and let cook until the pasta and broccoli are just tender, about 5 minutes, stirring half-way through.
- Uncover the pot. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and reserved sausage. Cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Serve topped with more parmesan cheese and red chili flakes, if you like.
