Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Rigatoni pasta (or pasta of choice)
- 12 oz Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Asparagus spears (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 cup Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the Italian sausage from casings (if applicable) and crumble it into the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the broccoli florets and asparagus pieces, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are softened and fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Transfer the pasta to serving bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
