Cooking Steps
- Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1 cup (2 cups) pasta water, then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Add broccoli, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Broil in the middle of the oven, flipping once halfway through, until broccoli is tender-crisp, 5-8 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add sausage. Cook, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend over sausage, then stir to coat sausage, 1 min.
- Add cream cheese, garlic and reserved pasta water. Cook, stirring constantly, until cream cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with pepper.
- Pour cream, sauce and half the cheddar over the penne in the pot. Stir to combine.
- Add broccoli, then stir gently until combined, 1 min.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
