One Pot Italian Sausage & Broccoli Pasta
A filling and flavorful weeknight pasta that can be customized with proteins and vegetables of choice.
By Ethan ChlebowskiI almost exclusively use the Risotto style pasta technique when I make pasta at home.
It's incredible for home cooks because it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, the sauce forms in the pan, and it's adaptable for any pasta situation.

Cook the pasta until al dente, adding more stock if it too fast before the pasta is done.
- By the end, the pasta should be cooked through, and the stock should be significantly reduced to a sauce-like consistency.
Step 4: Add cheese, combine everything together, and serve
