Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Heat a large pot over medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sausage. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle over Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring occasionally, until mixture coats sausage.
- To same the pot, add cream cheese, stock powder and 2 1/2 cups (4 1/2 cups) water.
- Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add penne and reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer uncovered for 12-14 min, stirring often to prevent sticking to the pot, until penne is al dente. (TIP: If pasta sticks too much, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.)
- Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Once penne is cooked, add broccoli and cream to the pot. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Remove pot from heat, then add cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir for 1 min, until cheese melts.
- Divide between bowls.
- Sprinkle crispy shallots over top.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The creamy, cheesy sauce is a crowd-pleaser, though some reviewers found the overall flavour mild and suggest adding extra seasoning or garlic to boost it.
- Ease of prep: This one-pot meal comes together quickly and is straightforward to prepare, making clean-up a breeze.
- Suggestions: Several reviewers noted the dish can turn out too watery; reduce the water slightly and stir often to help the sauce thicken. To avoid overcooked sausage, consider setting it aside after browning and returning it to the pot as the pasta nears al dente.
- Leftovers: This recipe yields generous portions, with several reviewers noting enough for a second meal or next-day lunch.
- Saltiness: A number of reviewers found the dish quite salty even without adding extra salt, so consider skipping or reducing the added salt when seasoning.
- Spice level: The mild Italian sausage has a noticeable kick that surprised some; those sensitive to spice may want to keep this in mind.
- Broccoli: Cutting the broccoli into smaller pieces and steaming it beforehand helps ensure it cooks through evenly in the final minutes.
