    Cook the Pasta

    Once water is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 11-13 minutes.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.

    Return pot used to cook pasta to medium heat.

    Add 4 tsp. olive oil, broccoli, a pinch of salt and pepper, onions, and 1/4 cup water to hot pot. Cover and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

    Add Italian sausage to hot pot. Break into smaller pieces until no pink remains and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Add pasta, cream base, pesto, 3/4 the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), softened cream cheese, 1 cup reserved pasta cooking water, 1/4 tsp. salt, a pinch of pepper, and garlic salt to hot pot. Bring to a simmer.
