One Pot Creamy Sausage Noodle Dish

I saw this original recipe here. Neither of us like spicy sausage or tomatoes in dishes like the original, so I changed it up a bit. The leftovers were tasty as well!


1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage, mild
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 oz pasta (we used Barilla Veggie Rotini and it was tasty!)
1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, each
1/2 lb fresh brussel sprouts or veggie of choice

1. Add olive oil to an skillet over medium high heat until just smoking. Add sausage and onions and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Add raw vegetable and saute for 2-3 minutes until they soften partially.
3. Add broth, cream, pasta, salt and pepper and stir. Bring to a boil, cover skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.
